Praise
“What made the pages fly through my hands was how frankly funny the narrative voice is; even through the darker themes of femicide and sexual violence, it never loses this waggish quality. This glittering wryness concentrates into a diamond-like grit when you consider the chilling prevalence of these same issues today.”
—Lucy Writers
“Valentine Carter’s new book of short stories takes inspiration from the women of The Odyssey, rescuing them from their isolation by imagining a world in which their stories intertwine.”
—Unity Books
“A very impressive debut novel in terms of the use of written word and the ease with which they make old stories fresh and new.”
—Utopia State of Mind
