* There are no stereotypes here. Even minor characters are complex and rich-though they are all white-and the prose is elegant and direct. Rock bottom is always far lower and far darker than you think. An important book and a very impressive, ultimately hopeful, treatment of mental illness. -- Kirkus (starred review)
