This short story collection does what Yuknavitch does best—asks you to trade your life for a book that is just strange and beautiful enough for you to make the deal. I floated through these stories the same way I've floated through her other work, almost unaware of time passing. Her endangered characters make terrible and necessary choices to preserve their difficult lives, and to move through a world that was not made for them. —Erica (from the Madison Books newsletter)
