Reviews
"Powerful. Koppelman's instincts help her navigate these choppy waters with inventiveness and integrity." ----Los Angeles Times "Koppelman explores with ruthless honesty a woman come undone." --Bookslut "Koppelman mosly writes from inside Laney's disillusioned mind, ricocheting between the quotidian details of wife and motherhood and big-picture musings, forming exquisite stand-alone tone poems." --Elle "We've been buzzing about this book all week, thanks to Sarah Silverman's career-changing performance... Koppelman writes about pain in a painfully beautiful way." --Glamour "This crushing novel by the author of A Mouthful of Air is a shocking portrait of suburban ennui gone horribly awry. Koppelman's prose style is understated and crackling; each sentence is laden with a foreboding sense of menace. Like a crime scene or a flaming car wreck, it becomes impossible not to stare." --Publishers Weekly "Laney Brooks is a woman in agony, suffering from an undefined malady that makes standard housewife ennui--boredom from carpooling or picking up dry cleaning--look like a picnic. Laney's despair, [is] ably depicted by Amy Koppelman in her affecting second novel." --Bookforum "This book is a demanding read, with relentless pacing, a choppy, aggressive tone and a compelling battle for redemption." --Lilith Magazine "Koppelman's writing is expressive and nuanced... [a] potent novel." --Booklist "[Koppelman's] brave and challenging look beyond appearances of beauty to the ugly reality of a disturbed mind will remain with readers long after they've finished the book. Highly recommended for literary collections." --Library Journal
