Critics Review

“On Sundays She Picked Flowers marks the debut of a ferociously talented writer. Yah Yah Scholfield writes with insight, beauty and the wildness of real art. This is a love story, a healing story, a tale of hard-won survival. Real, in the way all good fairy tales are.” – Victor LaValle, bestselling author of Lone Women“Yah Yah Scholfield has written one of the most visceral, intense, brutal, and yet honest, works of horror I have read in a long time. On Sundays She Picked Flowers is about the trauma of family, relationships, and the monsters we let in when we fail to confront what wounds us. You will devour this book–unless it devours you first.” – P. Djèlí Clark, award winning author of Ring Shout”Atmospheric and engrossing. On Sundays is written with the same dark love and shadow magic it explores. An essential debut.” – Johnny Compton, author of The Spite House and Dead First “A beauty of a debut. Scholfield’s sharp prose effortlessly carries scenes of sweetness and brutality. It grabbed me from the first page, did not let me go till the final one, and I can still feel it lingering long after the end. This is the kind of novel I crave as a reader.” – Erin E. Adams, author of Jackal and One of You
