"Smoothly moving between ages and genders, Lamia’s performance is unified and dynamic. By contrast, a concluding author interview sounds unrehearsed and candid, even if the content adds another layer of ambivalence to the novel’s question of how to cope with what we can and should do in matters of life and death." -- Booklist
