Critics Review
Stylish and ambitious … a deeply affecting novel that is full of death, yet simultaneously spirited and hopeful about love and life
Stirring, spellbinding and full of life
This expansive, huge-hearted novel conveys the scale of the trauma that was the early AIDS crisis, and conveys, too, the scale of the anger and love that rose up to meet it. Makkai shows us characters who are devastated but not defeated, who remain devoted, in the face of death, to friendship and desire and joyful, irrepressible life. I loved this bookWell imagined, intricately plotted, and deeply felt, both humane and humanRebecca Makkai
