Reception

Jessica Lakso praised the book, writing, "His writing is consciously poetic and at times aphoristic, and he deftly portrays his characters' raw emotions."[1] In a starred review, Publishers Weekly called the work "a fractured but fine-tuned narrative" and stated "the writing is what makes this remarkable book soar".[2]
