“A haunting and lyrical account of emotional dependencies”
Belfast News, 15 March 2001

“As refreshing as it is deeply affecting... A haunting novel. Leimbach’s talent undoubtedly lies in her brilliant skills of observation. This keen eye for detail means that one can always relate to her descriptions... The novel is compulsive and achieves a wonderful balance between digression into thoughts and metaphor and a swiftly advancing storyline. This is a book that inspires and affects. It is clever throughout its simplicity and immensely readable... It is the sort of book that brings new pleasure to reading...“

“A haunting and lyrical account of emotional dependencies. Leimbach has crafted a moving tale that explores the demands imposed by impossible and idealised love.”

“This is a haunting account of emotional dependencies that can be deeply destructive, driving apart those who feel the need to be together. Marti Leimbach has crafted a moving tale that explores the demands imposed by impossible and idealised love.”
