Book Reviews
(Starred review.) Like Donna Tartt's The Goldfinch, this sprawling...[novel] starts out with a traumatic incident involving a young boy befriended by a girl and expands from there into a Dickensian story in which criminals with murky motives mingle casually with the pure of heart. —Laurie Cavanaugh, Holmes P.L., Halifax, MA
Library Journal
(Starred review.) [T]his beautifully wrought novel is a sometimes wrenching but ultimately uplifting story of murder and betrayal in the face of faith, family in its truest sense, and—most of all—love.
