Welcome to Litsy!

I thought this was a mess. Way too long, a super frustrating MC who never makes us want to root for her, and a nonsensical ending. But the setting and locked-room aspect are very compelling so that gets some extra points. Reese Picks are very hit or miss for me!

A pan isn't totally fair since I'm sure I missed allusions known to fans of Elizabeth Bishop, but I didn't enjoy any moment of reading this. The book's marketing is deceptive: the orphan rescue element is very minor and will disappoint readers who were intrigued by the premise of Bishop's missing weeks.
