Critical Praise

"Martha Cooley has mastered the art of folding historical figures into her fiction, without making the final product feel gimmicky. . . . Her language throughout is haunting. . . . Her descriptive powers are spellbinding."

——Maureen Corrigan, National Public Radio's Fresh Air

"Thirty-Three Swoons is ingenious and instructive, and Ms. Cooley skillfully juggles her brilliant scheme."
