Review Quotes: "A sorceress to be reckoned with."--The New York Times Book Review
"[Kelly] Link's stories . . . play in a place few writers go, a netherworld between literature and fantasy, Alice Munro and J. K. Rowling, and Link finds truths there that most authors wouldn't dare touch."--Lev Grossman, Time
"She is a sorcerer. She is our greatest living fabulist."
--Carmen Maria Machado "Funny, scary, surprising and powerfully moving within the span of a single story or even a single sentence."
--Karen Russell, The Miami Herald "This is what certain readers live for: fiction that makes the world instead of merely mimicking it."
--Audrey Niffenegger "[These] exquisite stories mix the aggravations and epiphanies of everyday life with the stuff that legends, dreams and nightmares are made of."
--Laura Miller, Salon, Best Books of the Decade "A major talent . . . Like George Saunders, [Link] can't dismiss the hidden things that tap on our windows at night."
--The Boston Globe "The most darkly playful voice in American fiction."
--Michael Chabon "I think she is the most impressive writer of her generation."
--Peter Straub "Link's world is one to savor. [Grade: ] A"
--Entertainment Weekly "Intricate, wildly imaginative and totally wonderful . . . will fill you with awe and joy."
--NPR
