charecters, a voice that flows around events that themselves are
sometimes unexpectedly jarring but always intensely human.--

Elegantly written. A solid debut from a writer worth keeping an eye
on.-- "Kirkus Reviews"

diverse multicultural backgrounds of the plots add interest to the
depth of characterization. . . . Powerful.-- "Library Journal"
Pearlman's tales are written with great authority; details of place
and the compassion of the characters ring true every time. . . .
There is not a weak story in the collection.-- "Choice"
The fifteen stories in this debut collection gently delineate the
interior lives of their thoughtful protagonists as they grapple
with jealousy, longing, mortality, and the desire to do good in a
complicated world.-- "Publishers Weekly"
