- A searing and compassionate portrayal of family members who lose loved ones to depression, suicide, or kidnapping
- Author lost her own sister to suicide and writes from a place of painfully true experience
- The lives of the three main characters are deftly interwoven, and Zorn leaves a trail of breadcrumbs to slowly bring the reader to the astonishing connection between Maddy and Rose
- A beautifully detailed, gritty depiction of rural Quebec life in the 1980s, in a cabin with no electricity or running water
- Also depicts the urban, cosmopolitan setting of Montreal, with its more liberal values and increased Anglophone influence
- Timely theme of urban gentrification is also addressed as Fara and Frederic — as many young couples do in the face of soaring real estate — buy into a run-down, but “up-and-coming” neighbourhood
