Description

Our Bookseller says:

“This debut opens with an unnamed but nameable tension and closes with a fist raised high, the narrative as tight as clenched knuckles.

This is a deceptively quick read with a plot that will burrow into your psyche and stay there for hours, days, weeks. It will expand and force peopleโ€™s understanding of what many believe to be small moments, innocuous events, to expand as well. Reid covers a number of Big Idea topics like classism and sexism with aplomb, cracking the mirrors of fully-developed characters and scenes with such precision you wouldnโ€™t notice it at first glance, each fracture branching and forking until they no longer recognize themselves.
