Charged with humor, simmering with just-off-kilter antics."-- Beth Ann Fennelly "Here, wife and husband meet to fault each other. Truthful surrealisms abound, like landmines or dreams... Sulak wonders if our human faults and gaps are what build a version of love that is gorgeous, sometimes painful, and ultimately more faithful to the love/danger of family making."-- Connie Voisine
