Critical Praise

“An intriguing, ambitious literary work that will reward."

——Kirkus Reviews

“Here is an absorbing, well-written mix of romance and melodrama that reserves its most passionate passages for the role of art in our lives…. McGregor carefully and delicately weaves into her plot the idea that art is a conduit for the emotions, casting it variously as a therapeutic tool and as an expression of our darkest impulses. The author is at her most lyrically persuasive when detailing her overarching theme: a life without art is not life at all.”
