Critical Praise
Joanna Scott, "a worker of wonders."
Adrienne Miller, Esquire
"One of the most gifted writers at work today, Scott is brilliant, huge-hearted, devastating."
Michael Cunningham, People
"Like Ian McEwan, Scott knows the power of willing a tale into existence, reframing fiction to escape the limits of truth."
Helen Eisenbach, Newsday
"Joanna Scott's words are pearls strung into necklaces of sentences. She's a writer with a gift, a valuable gift."
Susan Balée, Philadelphia Inquirer
"Joanna Scott is one of today's best novelists, and she keeps getting better. As a writer, she plays with traditional narrative without being obscure or outrageous. Her details are placed in their settings like gems in fine jewelry-each has several facets: the beautiful, the dangerous, the ominous, and the familiar."
Susan Salter Reynolds, Los Angeles Times
