Review:
"Park's deeply layered plot is built as slowly and as meticulously as Maggie's scoring...A winner at every level."
Kirkus Reviews, 3/1/2008
Review:"Park evokes the characters and settings with her customary skill and talent for detail; she shows unusual sensitivity in writing about war...."
Publishers Weekly, 3/24/2008
