RaveThe Rumpus...a nuanced dance across many decades and between two countries ... Luce’s first-person narration moves gracefully between memory, reflection, and present action, revealing Rio’s evolving psychological state in elegant and accessible turns ... Pull Me Under is a heart-wrenching, devastating read, in part because all of us, at least in some small way, possess a 'black organ'—a sense of darkness threatening to make itself known. In this dazzling debut novel, Luce reminds us that life is often as much about becoming the person we want to be, as it is about understanding the person we have always been.
