"As with Kate Morton or Madeleine L’Engle’s works, Julia Butler writes with a rich mastery of subtle language, which she uses in effect to hoodwink us into believing one thing temporarily, before throwing a sudden counterpoint in the forward progression of the novel, causing the reader to never have a clear idea about what is happening. The language in this book is exceptionally well-refined, meaning that there are no moments of pedantic prose that ponderously lures the reader to sleep. Rather, the effectively clear, though deftly descriptive prose unwittingly pulls the reader’s conscious and subconscious mind into the story’s unrelenting flow of tawdry drama and salacious secrets."
