“…a great novel of character: the story of a real woman’s real grief and survival … Gray’s characters devour the world through their senses, a voracious, bodily quality that’s a gift in writing the story of a woman for whom meaning began in the body — who hoped to awaken the world through her own body, no less … In this era of history commandeered by toxic masculinity with delusions of superhumanity, there’s a lot to be said for remembering the truth of the body, particularly the female and otherwise marginalized bodies that are so likely to be written out of the story…Isadora is a heavenly celebration of women in charge of their bodies.”
