arcadia bride's comments on this title
I could not put this down, though at times the honest and brutal writing made me want to. So vivid and wonderfully rendered were McMasters characters and narrative that I nearly picked up the phone to call Sooky, the main character, i nearly composed hate mail for Redmond, i nearly searched for Sooky's art. This book will stay on my shelves forever to be read and reread and im sure it will surprise me time and time again. A WINNER!
