A DAZZLING COLLECTION OF STORIES ILLUMINATING THE MYTHOS OF THE AMERICAN GIRL
“Pursell is a master of the atmospheric moment. Precise, delicate, yet bloody-minded in their refusal to look away from the most painful moments of our tender lives . . . Tiny tales that resonate far beyond their borders.”
--Kirkus Reviews
“This haunting collection of 78 tiny but potent stories . . . are so sharp and disturbing they are probably best consumed in small quantities.”
--Publishers Weekly
"Pursell’s surreal stories together form a familiar picture of a world full of love and yearning . . ."
--Booklist
"She is dexterous in anatomizing the relationships between mothers and daughters, emulating Henry James-like restraint to articulate that which is left unsaid between them."
--San Francisco Chronicle
“In these wistful, expansive stories, Peg Alford Pursell holds up a mirror to our lives and relationships. The stories excavate the lives of her narrators with honesty and clear, luminous prose. They are mysterious in the way the best fiction is—their truths echoing long after you turn the page.”
-—Karen E. Bender, author of Refund, Finalist for the National Book Award
