From the Inside Flap
"An exquisite little book . . . Blackwell craftily weaves history and botany through this utterly devourable narrative . . . A multicolored treat." (-Los Angeles Times, 5/4/03). "[A] spare, searing first novel . . . a finely angled vision...a spare portrait of the banality of survival."( -Philadelphia Inquirer, 4/13/03). "...a lucid, serene style, which contrasts with her grim subject matter and increases its nightmarish quality....suggests a profoundly disturbing reality" (-Wall Street Journal, (7/25/03)
