This reads like a true labor of love. I'm a mother, immigrant, inhabitant of the Golden State, and someone with a fascination for friendship, the elderly, and inter-generational relationships in story, and I ate up this hypnotic debut novel. It took m ...more |

Gripping and gritty, I devoured this story collection. I love Erskine's dialogue, restraint and imagination. There's a fierce sense of disappointment threaded through these stories and an honest sense of characters' powerlessness and frustration in th ...more |

Loved the crisp prose and wonderful sense of place. A great (albeit disturbing) premise, too, and a compelling protagonist and antagonist. Even with Stockholm Syndrome, I didn't always buy the protagonists's love for her father. Also, the amount of fl ...more |

At first I stumbled over the staccato prose but this story, and Will in particular, quickly seduced me. In parts, the language is gorgeous, hymnal. Will, God-and-Phoebe-haunted, is very human, very stirring. I've just finished writing a novel with thr ...more |

| All too rare window and voices. Fresh, gorgeous language and superb understanding of human nature, especially the wounded. Throughout, a sacred, tangled undercurrent to everything that rang wonderfully right. This book is prayer, its author gifted. | |

“I'm looking for a writer who doesn't know where the sentence is leading her; a writer who starts with her obsessions and whose heart is bursting with love, a writer sly enough to give the slip to her secret police, the ones who know her so well, the ones with the power to accuse and condemn in the blink of an eye. It's all right that she doesn't know what she's thinking until she writes it, as if the words already exist somewhere and draw her to them. She may not know how she got there, but she knows when she's arrived.”
