Percolates with suspense * New York Times *
Elegant and hypnotic . . . Mandel brilliantly modulates the
heightening suspense in a novel that remains, above all, an elegy
for lost innocence * Washington Post *
The book virtually trumpets the author's talents: her charismatic
verbal grace and acuity, the rich atmosphere she creates * Boston
Globe *
Mandel is an exuberant storyteller * New York Times *
Mandel has a beautiful writing style * Independent on Sunday *
Mandel (The Singer's Gun) strikes a confident chord in her
third novel . . . The author again melds mystery plotting with
literary techniques like shifting points-of-view, resulting in both
sophistication and suspense ... Mandel's novel excels as a
character study that considers the slow degradation of hopes,
dreams, and expectations of people who are only in their late 20s
but already feel ancient * Publisher's Weekly *
This ingeniously structured literary thriller begins in sunlight
before slipping deeper and deeper into crime and moral darkness.
... Emily St. John Mandel is so sure-footed in her invention and so
good at delineating her cast, that I went along trustingly and with
bated breath * Star Tribune *
Riveting... Evocative, intriguing, and complex, this novel is as
smooth as the underbelly of a deadly, furtive reptile. Mandel's
substantial fan base will rejoice; word of mouth will bring new
fans on board * Library Journal *
