“An excellent collection of short stories, each managing to bring to life vivid and complex characters in a few pages only. Lauren Groff's writing is heavy with meaning, yet remains subtle and flowy, as she explores the universality of the female condition throughout space and time. She creates tragic and emotionally charged stories, masterfully building up to the climax before packing a strong punch with every ending.”
“Lauren Groff is one of the very best storytellers. This collection is an exquisite collection of her early writing.”
