I’ve been seeing the title around but haven’t paid much attention (except that I think it’s brilliant, yet I don’t like the cover art). I will have to request this from the library and give it a try.

This sounds right up my alley, but I hadn’t heard of it until now. Great review, going to put it on my list!

This is such an incredible review, Catherine. I was already excited to read this but I’m basically shaking with excitement now. I like that it’s a bit odd, that Ausubel just goes for it when she has the parents abandoning their kids. I can’t wait to read this – just have to find it. And maybe get through 30 other books ahead of it?

In reply to Amanda. The theme is that way, Amanda, but Ausubel's writing is so gorgeous that it takes it beyond the trope.

Oh I’m so glad you found it to be a book beyond just wealthy people behaving badly – I need a break from those. I cannot wait to read this one!

In reply to Shannon @ River City Reading. None of the funky magical realism, but the actions of the parents are definitely unusual.

I’m going to come back to this review since I’m starting this book so soon!

Waiting for this to come in at the library and very excited to hear good things about it! Especially that it’s still a bit odd, which was my favorite thing about her last novel.
