From Cy on Authonomy
Fantastic! I actually watchlisted your book because the title is one of my favorite Tori Amos remakes...so it caught my eye. I thought your pitch was great and came in for a read. Now I've got you on my shelf! . . . I find your imagery vivid, your use of the language tremendous, and feel that your work is almost bookstore-ready. As a customer I would have purchased it and sat down to read it all in one night. Here are the things I liked the most: "They love the tree as it screams under their saws"- wow. if that doesn't epitomize many of your character's relationships with their parents, I don't know what does. Wonderful. "When I get distracted by things above the ground." and the whole scene with Tiger's kittens. How powerful. I certainly didn't expect your mother to come out with her shotgun, and the combined tenderness of laying them in the sweater and then the child's wrapping it up as the sweater was ruined anyway from cottage cheese- wow.
