'Robinson brings her wit, her beautiful sentences and her compassionate clarity to this book about the price of love and the enduring need for it.’ Amy Bloom, author of White Houses

'Robinson’s smart, seductive writing style creates a sense of quiet menace that keeps the reader guessing until the book’s shattering conclusion.' Daily Mail
'Elegantly structured and written, shimmering with feeling and truth. A triumph.' Kirkus Reviews
