The author has crafted a series of gut punches that bring up all kinds of sense memories and imaginings for the reader. There is never a weak portion of the story. As the sensory details continue to bring the story to life, we find ourselves carried along in a fine cadence, as the plot progresses well, with no lulls in the middle. So many stellar descriptions stopped me in my tracks so that I could turn the phrasing around and around in appreciation. "I'm overwhelmed by the *gorgeous* language in this scriptive magic that reminds me of Alice Sebold's breathtaking phrasing. Writer's Digest, Nicole Howard (starred review - 5 stars)
