Critical reception

"Haunting, enchanting, and forensically observed... a tender, anthropological elegy, and it will stay with you long after you finish it." – Sophie Dahl

"A staggering accomplishment. Impossible to categorise, this is a work of exquisite art; encyclopaedic in its scope, drawing connections across time and cultures. An alchemist, Annabel Dover transmutes the minutiae of life into poetry." – Heidi James
