"Ivy Pochoda's brilliant first novel convinces us of the magic of reality, and the reality of magic. A seductive delight for all the senses, not least, the sixth." Galt Niederhoffer, author of  The Romantics "Ivy Pochoda's language is hypnotic, her story refreshingly original.  Most important of all, the characters she conjured made me ache. Prepare to let go of the mundane and embrace the fantastical in this well-imagined debut.  It is utterly spellbinding." Amy MacKinnon, author of Tethered   Ivy Pochoda graduated from Harvard University with a degree in Classical Greek and English.
