“An intelligent, original, complex, sometimes humorous, sometimes disturbing novel. Ms. Labiner takes an old theme, writing a novel and the novel inside the novel, and turns it upside down besides making it new. A bold start and a bright future.”
—Stephen Dixon
“Labiner, narrating in several distinct and haunting voices, proves herself a metafictional adept. She succeeds in crafting an ambitious, poignant and sharp-tongued novel filled with secrets and ghosts, jealous and love.”
—Publishers Weekly
