Editorial Reviews
Editorial Reviews
“A slim debut novel graced by inventive language and a haunting atmosphere…The melancholy mood and restrained language of the story settles deep into a reader’s consciousness.”
—NPR
“As a poet, [Johanna Skibsrud] knows how to pare a story down to its essence and infuse every thread with meaning…The tale is so true and poignant that, as in the moment when the narrator flew over the water, readers, too, will want to stay there ‘as long as possible.’”
—Dallas Morning News
“Skibsrud’s assured prose and graceful wordplay elevate this delicately structured story of redemption and forgiveness, and her storytelling is so refined and subtle that the punch at the end, while fully anticipated, still has a leveling power.”
—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“Skibsrud’s subtle, contemplative prose provides exquisite meditation on the ripple effects of violence upon generations, the untrustworthiness of memory, and the sorrowful impossibility of truly understanding one’s parents.”
—Booklist
