A Sleeper Deserving Attention

A marvelous, quirky blend of Tom Robbins, Tom Stoppard, and general Tom Foolery. Unforgettable characters and bizarre plot intersections leave you wanting more (along with some Smiley -- a plot device I won't spoil by explaining) throughout.

A book with a hook, that you have to finish.

This is a little gem of a first novel, full of gritty characters, funny-sad situations, and a look at the kind of destiny that walks up and grabs you by the throat even though you've seen it coming. Tough and sensitive, never resting, always moving and taking you along with it. After this book, fleabites press can change its name to beestings.

Tough and exquisite at the same time!

I picked up this book because of the title. Who is this writer? What a gift! Tough and exquisite at the same time. As unexpected as rain in the place she writes.
