She\u00a0brings us a wholly original voice in a riveting novel of desperation and love.\u00a0<em>Nickels<\/em>\u00a0is narrated by Miss So And So, as her mother names her, from the ages of 4 to 26, a character so compelling I never wanted to stop hearing from her. She names herself\u00a0<em>crazy girl<\/em>, but the reader sees a different truth: there\u2019s humor and cunning and ferocious love alive in those who survive. Stark enables the reader to inhabit the intricacy and chaos of this potent inner landscape, and we have not seen this before. Every sentence vibrates with a terrible beauty.
