Critic Reviews

‘A beautifully observed coming-of-age tale in the great American tradition ... nimble, delicate and emotionally sophisticated’
‘Hauntingly believable ... an impressive and quietly terrifying book’
'Karen Thompson Walker's debut novel is a stunner from the first page - an end-of-the-world, coming-of-age tale of quiet majesty. I loved this novel and can't wait to see what this remarkable writer will do next' (Justin Cronin, author of The Passage, on The Age of Miracles)
'What a remarkable, beautifully wrought novel' (Curtis Sittenfeld on The Age of Miracles)
'Brought to mind Alice Sebbold's The Lovely Bones'

This could have been so much more. The characterisations were shallow and lacked depth. the narration was almost insipidly nasal. The story.ine could have been really explored and more interesting. overall it did not live up to other reviews.

this was a little close to home regarding peoples reactions. I enjoyed reading it though.

Too many loose ends no real story line ... it’s like the author forgot where she was going with the story so just started new threads.

Disappointing

Exhausting read. I’ve never slogged through so many wildly unnecessary adjectives in my life. The only reason I didn’t throw this book out the window in frustration is because it’s for book club.

Oh for the love of god
