Walker's take on the classic Gothic tale fairly shimmers... a heady concoction of terror and desire... fever-pitched emotions... dark with smothering melancholy and macabre spectres
Walker creates a dazzling world filled with the scents and colors of flowers that will later become the foundation for Sylvia's subversive paintings. Just as subversive is the swirl of voices of the women at the story's center: The Chapel women may be locked away in castles and sanitariums by a series of domineering men, but their unfulfilled longings haunt these pages as powerfully as any family curse
Thrums with violence, oppression, and blood. This fierce feminist tale hit me in the heart and hasn't let me go
Wonderful ... I highly recommend ... a book one doesn't want to put down'
A riveting, gothic page-turner... evocatively captures the tempo, languor and decadence of the ivory tower in which the sisters are trapped... a dazzling world... their unfulfilled longings haunt these pages as powerfully as any family curse
Filled with incredible writing, deliciously dark and gothic themes and strong female characters, this new novel is not one to miss
This feminist Gothic thriller whisks readers from New Mexico in 2017 to Connecticut in 1950, straight into the bull's-eye of a firearms dynasty.
Earning comparisons to The Virgin Suicides for its singularly unlucky siblings and gothic mystery
Long-anticipated... spooky... speaks to the author's range
Sarai Walker has done it again. She upends the Gothic ghost story with a fiery feminist zeal
Gorgeously written and all-consuming, and left me more than a little heartbroken
Takes one interesting new turn after another... a heady mix of gothic fiction and incisive art thriller
Sharp, gothic tale
Walker plays along with the feminist gothic form, with the idea of a family curse, and we cannot but play along, caught up in the suspense to the inevitable end
Delightfully eerie mix of bildungsroman and ghost story. This uncanny tale of dark origins shines brightly
