Review
“[A] luminous first novel.” —Anne Tyler
“Moves freely between the mundane and the metaphysical . . . Willard creates pictures of daily life so precisely observed that they leave after-images in the reader’s mind.” —The New York Times
“Written with spirit and in a luminous prose that is a pleasure to read . . . Willard’s technical virtuosity is like an array of pitches. And in this book, she throws a perfect game.” —The Houston Post
