RaveMagnum OpalIn this exquisite collection of 11 stories, writer Laura van den Berg gives voices to unsteady women lurking in their own shadows ... With mouthwatering sensory details, along with van den Berg’s ability to distort events that may or may not have happened, readers will get sucked in to the lives of these characters ... The hyperawareness of these characters will haunt readers as well as keep them invested in the lives of these fictional misfits long after they’ve moved on to the next story. With a controlled and transcendent writing style, van den Berg has most certainly established herself as a writer ahead of her time.
