Rezensionen
"Collins's propulsive spine-tingler uses the conventions of historical fiction but infuses the genre with edgy beauty. . . . In her deft hands, defiant Frannie summons courage and cunning to tell a story of colonialism, racism, and the yearning to connect." O: The Oprah Magazine, "The Best Books by Women of Summer 2019"
