Reviews"The prose is so evocative that I blinked occasionally when I realized the page in front of me was white, and not the faded green of velvet curtains and overgrown gardens. The book feels like a Christmas dinner: Rich, heavy, extravagant, lush--and traditional in a way that no one would dream of objecting to."--The New York Times Book Review "A seamless coming-of-age story...Davis-Goff has an exquisite eye and a wonderful memory for the vagaries of adolescent girlhood."--Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Annabel Davis-Goff...is a find."--The Washington Post Book World, "The prose is so evocative that I blinked occasionally when I realized the page in front of me was white, and not the faded green of velvet curtains and overgrown gardens.
