"Writing with a deep knowledge of the enduring myths of Appalachia, Weiss vividly portrays real people and sorrows.”
—Library Journal, Starred Review
“…masterful language…
Weiss’ novel is a great suggestion for fans of the Big Stone Gap books by Adriana Trigiani and Mitford series by Jan Karon.”
—Booklist, Starred Review
“This one nearly broke my heart. With deeply human characters I will not easily forget, Weiss captures the fierce pull of desperation and the formidable power of hope. An impressive debut from a talent to watch.”
—Kathleen Grissom
“The novel is loosely a feminist revenge drama, with sadistic, hapless men being served rough—and comic—justice by women ground down by misogyny.”
—Alasdair Lees for Independent
