“Deliciously creepy. . . . a book sure to haunt its reader long after the last past is turned—exquisitely eerie.” - Kirkus starred review

“Delightful. . . . a beautifully rendered portrait of a zaftig young lass struggling to rid herself of her origins when everyone else wants to define her by them.” - L.A. Times
