Media Reviews
Barker's creative vision is as in touch with the psychologically primordial as Melville's * HARPER'S *
Swift, spare, and utterly absorbing ... [Barker] makes us see her characters from within... and thereby reveals the full individuality and humanity of women who have got short shrift both in literature and in life * NY TIMES BOOK REVIEW *
Barker's talent for gently sifting through the hidden depths of the human psyche is awesome * NOVA *
