Like the critically-acclaimed The Houdini Girl, this novel is clever--knowing in its depiction of lives lived on the edges of respectability and impressive in its rendering of a range of different voices and characters. Independent, wayward, unpredictable, Chloe's emerges as the dominant, and engaging, voice--as is clear from the very beginning of the novel in her exchange with an unsavoury reporter: "Gavin: 'How did you learn to dowse?' Chloe: 'Because no-one ever told me I couldn't.'" In this sense, the violence that unfolds towards the end of the book comes as a shock that is crucial to the suspense, and success, of this whimsical tale. Vicky Lebeau
