Even the grimmest of these stories conveys, along with anguish, a child's spark of mystery and wonder." -Lisa Dierbeck, The New Tork Times Book Review "Amajornewtalent . . . A dark and beautiful book." -Heidi Bensőn, San Francisco Chronicle Magaziné "Unclouded by sentimentality ... Orringer writes with penetrating intelligence and remarkable self-possession." -Amanda Heller, The Boston Globe Vissza
