Industry Reviews
"Suspense mingles with insight in this sensuous novel as Burroway reminds us that we can't extract ourselves from the wider world, that everything is always in flux, and that to survive, one must hold onto kindness, fairness, and love."
(01/01/2009)
"[F]amily obligations, romantic love and self--fulfillment...come through most convincingly, and memorably, in Burroway's clever and compassionate prose."
