Heather Lewis has written this novel with a power and pain almost unbearable, like some freak-ass despondent Jesus nailing herself to the cross again and again. This novel is tragic, horrifying, and a triumph -- Sapphire, author of Push Lewis's language is stripped to the bone ... Searing, graphic and not for the faint of heart, Lewis's novel is a punch to the gut readers will feel long after the shock of its impact has subsided. * Publisher's Weekly * Lewis is an enormously compelling writer: astute, risky, and unapologetic ... hauntingly sad in its portrayal of a lonely soul tittering on the edge of emotional oblivion. * Kirkus * An irreducible text, unforgettable, nearly unbearable, but never unbelievable or self-indulgent -- Dale Peck * New York Magazine * Heather Lewis writes in a tone wry and under-modified. The language is stinging in its precision, sensual in its awareness of hot and cold, its relentless physical registration -- Alan Gurganus
