“Narrator Jasika Nicole’s cool voice transforms subtly into the various characters, who range from young Eleanor to her more confident family members. Nicole’s shifts from character to character are good, and her pacing is pleasant…[and] she injects her voice with an edge of mystery at just the right moments to highlight the peculiar plot Szabo has concocted in this debut novel.”
