Critic Reviews

"Johnson's language is beautiful, her descriptions of setting visceral, and her characters compellingly drawn." - Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"Johnson would fit quite comfortably on a shelf with Karen Russell, Erin Morgenstern and others who hover in the simultaneous state of being both "literary" and "fantasy writers." - Shelf Awareness

It's a British story!

Having the story read by American accent, really put me off. I know she's the author, but she should have been humble and had it narrated by a Brit.
She's done a reasonable job with the story line.
