"A fantastic rendering of female desire . . . Few writers can tackle the bedroom--or female libido . . . but Ciment is a master: in exquisitely spare prose, she nails it."
--Penelope Green, The New York Times
--Maureen Corrigan, NPR
"Engaging, empathetic . . . This honest, mature look at life and love adds to a growing body of evidence leading to a decisive verdict: Ciment is an author well worth reading."
--Kirkus (starred review)
"Stark and absorbing . . . scathingly funny . . . a smart, compact, refreshingly unsentimental exploration of the persistence of desire amid the fact of death."
-- The Wall Street Journal
"Excellent . . . short and brisk, propelled by the suspense of multiple questions . . . deft and gripping."
--Curtis Sittenfeld, The New York Times
"Stunningly concise. . . . Pulled me in right off the first page. It's a bravura performance, Ciment exercising almost flamboyant control of her material."
--Emily Donaldson, The Globe and Mail (Canada)
--Booklist
"Intriguing, swift-moving. . . . This novel will hook readers with its powerful, magnetic narrative."
--Publishers Weekly "This book's lean style and cool tone shape an unsentimental story with unexpected depths. . . . Ciment gives her story a series of wicked twists, some thrilling, some heart-wrenching."
--The Tampa Bay Times
