“Monninger comes to writing with his five senses wide open, and his sharply focused imagery has the rare quality of being entirely original while producing a jolt of startled recognition in the reader.” -The New York Times Book Review “Monninger is a brilliant writer.” -Luanne Rice ""Fans of John Irving, you have a new author to love."" Lisa Genova, New York Times bestselling author of Still Alice and Left Neglected ""Monninger’s imagery resonates long into the night, while your lamp burns oil because you cannot put the book down until the last page is turned."" -Romantic Times (4 stars)
