Emotional Read: The inner lives of these women are rich, surprising, layered. Though they've had such disparate experiences and are going through individual personal crises, there is a tie that binds them together, and that readers will find something to identify with.
Unusual, Intriguing Hook: This book is an accessible read with a high concept and beautiful writing; it's riveting drama, both inside these women's heads and out. It's set over one night, but the story covers decades. You can read it in a gulp.
Exciting New Author: This novel sold in huge auctions in Australia and the UK and we were lucky to snap it up for Riverhead. There will be a global publication.
