"Ms. Braverman possesses a magical, incantatory voice and the ability to loft ordinary lives into the heightened world of myth." -The New York Times
"Stunning ... Sentence after sentence unfolds like an endless succession of startling, exotic blossoms. It will be praised as establishing a new mythology, most likely a feminist mythology." -The Philadelphia Inquirer
"We've had few fiction writers in our tradition who hold an entire book together out of such moon-spun inebriation with English ...
