	a coming-of-age tale about the painful and wonderful experiences of motherhood with the traits typical of a bildungsroman; friendship, love, sex and heartbreak… This is a compelling novel told in the most beautifully crafted way, and the frequent lapse into disjointed stream of consciousness renders the style close to that of Eimear McBride's A Girl is a Half-Formed Thing. Snyder's storytelling is powerful to the point of creating an all-encompassing reality… It is a wonderful rarity when a book leaves you so profoundly affected.
Other text	In the tradition of Alice Munro, an ambitious coming of age novel-in-stories set against the backdrop of the political turmoil in 1980s Nicaragua.
