Outstanding achievement. I read this novel in two intense bursts over a 24 hour period. Impossible to put down, and when I had to it lingered in the back of my mind, itching to be picked up again. Ng is a writer of immeasurable skill, and here she weaves an intricate tale of suburban gothic that’s scathing and beautiful. This one will stick with me for a good long time, and I almost can’t wait to revisit it again in the future. Simply brilliant.
