Yet, the deeper we look into Eleanor’s unsettledness, the more we see &amp; the more hope we find in her rhizomic wandering. This is a beautiful slow burn of a novel.” —Renee Gladman;<br><br> “By turns funny, melancholic, &amp; provocative, Anna’s novel undoes &amp; remakes the conventions of realist fiction through repetition &amp; compression of time . . . It is ‘luminously ordinary’ in its progression, where profound shifts are as small as a postcard written or a hand touched.” —BOMB<br>
