Praise
“An extraordinary achievement, a perfectly controlled novel that explodes on impact into astonishing and quite lethal shards.”
—Joan Didion
“With and edge that recalls early Salinger . . . This tantalizingly brief and very assured debut leaves its heroine stumbling through a rediscovered nightmare.”
The Independent
“At once highly perceptive and endearingly kooky, this novel invites comparison with Catcher in the Rye, but Rebecca Stowe has the assurance of a writer with her own agenda.”
—Sunday Telegraph
“A triumph . . . the verve of [the] narration transforms a familiar story of disillusionment . . . into something rich and strange.”
—Sunday Observer
“An original first novel, shockingly sad.”
—The Guardian
“A moving portrait of a girl trapped in herself . . . Sulky, quirky, wistful, it is extremely convincing and finally, moving.”
—Sunday Times
