""I was a convert to Natalie Southworth's fiction from the first story I read. This book is ambitious, deeply intelligent, and psychologically fearless. Natalie Southworth has a surgical eye for a specific species of suffering: the kind that comes as the cost of what we'd thought we wanted."" -Paige Cooper, Giller Prize finalist ""They are beautiful and shimmering stories, with so much subtlety and nuance-the tension and unease are palpable yet mostly under the surface. I picture them as Chagall paintings-beautiful constellations of images and ideas....There's a great deal of wisdom here about the lives of women and a clear-eyed lack of sentimentality."" -Alix Ohlin, two-time Giller Prize finalist
