Customer Reviews

Phenomenal!

I picked this book up at random, and it was one of the best books I've ever read. I really enjoyed the confusion of who was narrating which book and when. One was never quite sure if it was Nevada or Clair who controlled the text in the reader's hand. And what an imagination on Linde! If one could get past the implausible nature of Nevada's sculpture, a living ecosystem encompassed in an artwork that was a refuge from reality was an ingenious idea (especially in Nevada's state of mind). Not to mention the deeper meaning of the book which hits home with many women- codependency. It is evil and it is real, and this was a wonderful depiction of women working through their emotional battles on their own ground.

A GREAT READ !

They don't write books like this anymore. The Author has obviously put her heart and soul into this project without concern for the latest hot trends.A great read plus it is great literature.What a great Holiday present.
