An enthralling dystopian drama that makes complex points about
parenting with depth and feeling.-- "Kirkus Reviews"
Enthralling...Woven seamlessly throughout are societal assumptions
and stereotypes about mothers, especially mothers of color, and
their consequences. Chan's imaginative flourishes render the
mothers' vulnerability to social pressures and governmental whims
nightmarish and palpable. It's a powerful story, made more so by
its empathetic and complicated heroine.-- "Publishers Weekly"
