"In Oliver's moody and mysterious novel, a pair of ghosts inhabits the house of the recently deceased Richard Walker and serves as an invisible chorus to his family's bleak memories and motivations."--O magazine
"A powerful haunted house story ... Excellently paced... Ultimately, Rooms is an outstanding novel, with a brilliant array of characters...compelling and difficult to put away...it has stuck with me in ways that few books do.

"[Oliver's] first novel for adults, "Rooms," is a ghost story, but is completely unlike any we've read before... an elegant blend of real and supernatural worlds."--BookPage
"Oliver skillfully weaves her tales together clearly and cleanly... The real strength of this novel is Oliver's knack for rendering charmingly flawed characters with real-life problems and complicated relationships... Oliver's prose is crisp and clean; it gives the book much of its energy."--Washington Independent Review of Books
"Pleasantly spooky."--New York Times Book Review
