Irish Times
Packs a powerful punch ... there is a dreamlike quality to Özlü's lyrical prose
- Lucy Popescu, the Tablet,
Virtuosic and elliptical ... this voice neither exalts itself nor judges itself. It's uncanny how clearly Özlü speaks of a different time yet, simultaneously, of this moment.
- Jonathan MacAloon, Financial Times
An incredible discovery for the English-speaking world, especially for women struggling to find their own place in an society that doesn't want to make them welcome... As a record of feelings, it's as pointed as an icicle, and as soothing as a cactus. It's a fantastic read.
- Sarah Manvel, BookMunch
A fragmentary, freewheeling novel about one woman's madness and resilience ... fierce and frightening but witty and deeply affecting too
- Lisa McInerney, author of The Rules of Revelation,
