'From its exquisite opening line to the moving finale, this elegantly delineated tale never strikes a false note... Disher is a gifted writer... [An] evocative, emotionally charged coming-of-age story... The only downside to this book is its brevity. Like a particularly savoury appetizer, it simply whets the reader's appetite for more.' - Publisher's Weekly
