"Shiver-inducingly delicious."-The New York Times Book Review
"[Suma's] narratives are subtle, quicksilver creatures, her language is elegant, and her characters keep more secrets than they reveal. If this book was a dessert, it wouldn't be a chocolate chip cookie or a vanilla birthday cake - it would be an earl grey lavender macaroon, or maybe balsamic fig ice cream." – NPR.com

"With evocative language, a shifting timeline and more than one unreliable narrator, Suma subtly explores the balance of power between the talented and the mediocre, the rich and the poor, the brave and the cowardly . . .
