Reviews

"Coppo succeeds in guiding readers into the titular character’s interiority, making it possible to relate its failures to their own and resulting in a piquant and poignant adventure." —Publishers Weekly

"Once you've seen some aspect of the world the way Marianna Coppo presents it, you won't go back to seeing it the old way." —Imaginary Elevators
