What They're Saying
Critics Review
* “Bewitching, beautiful, and bewildering…. Immensely satisfying.”–Booklist, starred review* “Readers familiar with Greek myth will take special pleasure in the slantwise view Andrews conjures…. The tapestry metaphor also offers a longer, measured view of the unavoidability of pain and the beauty of kindness as well as commentary on the persistence of powerful stories through art.”–BCCB, starred review “A lyrical debut exploring the nature of destiny and sacrifice…. The narrative voice…makes this enchanting story feel like an all-new myth built from classic material.”–Publishers Weekly, starred review “An epic tale of abandonment, travel, secrets, family, and the meaning of art…. Exquisite in detail…. A tapestry, both humble and rich.”–Kirkus Reviews, starred review“Both mysterious and evocative…. A dreamy, immersive story that raises questions aboutthe power of art and the value of humansuffering.”–The Horn Book“Expertly written, full of beautiful imagery and elements of Greek mythology…. An engaging and inventive novel.”–School Library Journal
