Praise
"An exquisite story about wealth and class and heartbreak."
—Tampa Bay Times
"There’s a hint of The Great Gatsby in this tale... Unger brings out the tensions with her skillful sense of timing and precise narration. There is also a gentle nostalgic quality to Unger’s writing... she captures the natural splendor of the area when she writes... but no matter how much natural loveliness Unger fills her story with, the darkness is there in true noir fashion."
