From the Inside Flap:
"An exquisite little book . . . Blackwell craftily weaves history and botany through this utterly devourable narrative . . . A multicolored treat." (-Los Angeles Times, 5/4/03). "[A] spare, searing first novel . . . a finely angled vision...a spare portrait of the banality of survival."( -Philadelphia Inquirer, 4/13/03). "...a lucid, serene style, which contrasts with her grim subject matter and increases its nightmarish quality....suggests a profoundly disturbing reality" (-Wall Street Journal, (7/25/03)
About the Author:
The daughter of botanists, Elise Blackwell holds an M.F.A. in fiction from the University of California, Irvine. Originally from southern Louisiana, she now lives in Princeton, New Jersey.
