Reviews

Fierce, incantory. . . lyrical. . . powerful and disturbing
Kincaid, always an elegant stylist, makes this story of a simple woman extraordinary...filling her prose with rich, poetic detail. . . An unforgettable account of singular survival
A book that comes both to haunt and to dazzle us . . . [Kincaid] writes like an angel: with enviable lucidity and precision and a lyric touch that frequently aspires to the condition of poetry
What a writer – elegant, uncompromising, simultaneously direct and layered and complex.
