“The stories in Michelle Richmond’s debut collection spin artfully off of the life of a single character…Smart and adept.” ~The New York Times.
“This collection of brief sketches alternating with longer fictions has a novel’s heft, as characters who are just names in one story emerge to take center stage in another. These women’s lives are shaped by fate and place, forces hauntingly evoked by this talented young writer.” ~The Boston Globe.
“A winning debut.” Publishers Weekly
