Review:
Wallace's prose is lush and spare ... she handles both the grotesque and the gorgeous with equal skill. A tender, tragic love story ... together with a suspenseful pursuit story, brings the novel to a dramatic close. Wallace never lets its chilly, destitute atmosphere lapse (Publishers' Weekly)
