Recenzii
A vivid and unforgettable voice . . . incredibly moving
Unputdownable
Gripping . . . beautifully subtle
Both violent and subtle, unexpectedly reminding me of The Wire. Characters, settings, and the half-believed Haitian vodou religion are handled with patience and complexity . . . A serious, nuanced, challenging novel. Trust me, there are plenty of young readers who hunger for exactly that
Remarkable . . . Lake's elegant, restrained prose and distinct characters will reward adults and older teenagers able to brave a story with strong language, harrowing scenes of brutality and an almost painful stab of joy at the end
