Critical Praise

"A dangerous, glorious book: the kind that is likely to make absolutely anyone cry and laugh in public places."

——The New York Times Book Review

"A work of wild, vaulting ambition and achievement...Rich and allusive, blisteringly exuberant...one of the most psychologically accurate and moving love stories in recent literature."

——Mark Harris, Entertainment Weekly

"In exquisitely sculpted prose, Jamie O'Neill...achieves a kind of richness of scope and ambition that makes one reluctant to come to its tragic and inevitable close."

——Robin Hemley, Chicago Tribune
