I really can't recommend this highly enough. It's a beautiful book." -<em>New York Times</em> bestselling author Seanan McGuire<br /> <br /> "As hope wars with loss, this gripping psychological thriller never loses focus. Though Crewe's story can be gruesome and horrifying, she escapes the trap of making events too depressing and hopeless, maintaining a strong sense of realism throughout." -<em>Publishers Weekly</em><br /> <br /> "Crewe utilizes a less-is-more approach, subtly closing the walls in on the characters as they run out of resources... Readers will root for the believable characters struggling through heartbreaking situations." <em>-Kirkus Reviews</em><br /> <br /> "This is the kind of book that makes you look up in alarm when someone near you sniffles. It viscerally conveys the horror of sudden, brutal illness and the struggle between being humane and saving your own skin." -<em>Booklist</em></p><br>
