PositiveLos Angeles Review of BooksZink staves off the sadness by writing in an insistently comic register ... Zink is a spirited and sharp indicter of injustice, greed, bigotry of many kinds, collective cultural delusion, and abuses of power both personal and political ... Her work lets her characters live and breathe while still confronting them with mortal reckonings ... Zink scripts and directs [the scene] with patient and delicate restraint ... Sister Europe hasn’t got the autobiographical poignancy of Avalon or the careening first-novel intensity of The Wallcreeper ... Her most unruffled volume so far.
