"Susan Fletcher's first novel . . . is one of those lyrical books about childhood in which the physical details—the sights, the smells—take on a vividness that's entrancing."—Polly Shulman, New York Times Book Review "Readers who like to plumb the depths of loss and its counterpart—the joy of living—would do well to pick up [Eve Green]."—Jessica Treadway, Chicago Tribune
