“This is a masterful, gorgeous, subtle, and immensely satisfying novel, one that holds a reader from start to finish through the sheer power and delight of the way in which it is told. I have great affection for this beautifully drawn band of characters; Pigeon and her family will stay with me always. If you love superb literary fiction with a genuine and engaging voice, this book is for you.”
—Harriet Scott Chessman, author of Lydia Cassatt Reading the Morning Paper
