Godshot (Bieker ) - Book Reviews

Book Reviews
Fiercely written and endlessly readable, a novel like this is a godsend.
Entertainment Weekly


[P]ropulsive, ambitious…. Bieker straddles the line between darkly comic and downright dark, and excels in portraying female friendships…. Bieker’s excellent debut plants themes seen in… The Handmaid’s Tale into a realistic California setting that will linger with readers.
Publishers Weekly


(Starred review) Lacey May’s is an irresistible voice, part gullible believer, part whip-smart independent spirit who surprises at every turn. Debut novelist Bieker weaves in the political battles being fought on multiple fronts.
Library Journal

(Starred review) [A] vivid and cutting exploration of…  how mothers shape daughters, biological or otherwise, and how daughters must ultimately learn to mother themselves. Young readers will admire Lacy May’s resilience, moxie, and ability to survive in a world she did not choose.
Booklist


(Starred review) Lacey May is such a strong narrator, at once deeply insightful and painfully naïve, that readers will eagerly want to follow all the threads to the breathless conclusion. A dark, deft first novel about the trauma and resilience of both people and the land they inhabit.
