[A] magical debut...a gorgeous novel that should resonate with fans of Audrey Niffenegger's The Time Traveller's Wife... A breathtaking tale full of love, hope and heartbreak. You'll be utterly captivated from the first page. Elle Beautiful, sad, moving, fascinating and original. I loved it. -- Marian Keyes A stellar love story that echoes down decades and centuries. Glamour, Book of the Year A fluid narrative voice, pointedly lyrical. And, as in the work of contemporary fabulists like Kelly Link, Helen Oyeyemi and Audrey Niffenegger, the real intersects matter-of-factly with the supernatural...Many of this novel's pleasures have to do with teasing out the implications of Sedgwick's intricate pattern...This web of associations, spun by recurring images and figures, lends a different spin to the idea of a love that's meant to be. New York Times Book Review Her laconic tone and measured prose belie the novel's dramatic content... Sedgwick is a highly evocative writer who makes excellent use of nature to showcase her themes... Her charming debut maps the world's big questions on an even larger plane' -- Sarah Gilmartin Irish Times
