PositiveThe Toronto Star...thorough, detail-driven and well-paced ... Eggers, the omniscient narrator, takes the reader both inside Josie’s head and outside into this unfamiliar landscape. He aptly depicts Josie’s growing bond with her kids and her search for redemption. Eggers stuffs well-drawn characters, believable scenes and topical social commentary into the novel like an overpacked suitcase. Yet it all seems to work in under 400 pages.
