salon.com Atkinson is a clever writer,
suffusing her work with fresh humor, sharp word play, and the occasional
touch of magic realism. Atkinson's smart, funny
novel explores the power of storytelling and blurs the line between
fact and fiction. Startlingly original Really comic, really tragic,
bracingly unsentimental. An effervescent, affecting
delight. Atkinson's language is
a joy. Full of ambiguities and
neat surprises. |
