From the Back Cover
'Amidon's absorbing novel is distinguished above all by its
taut, compelling plot, one hinged by intriguing moral ambiguities' The
Sunday Times
'Amidon has achieved the rare alchemy of creating a novel charged with
suspense from the lives of ordinary suburban families; it's also an
unflinching social commentary that has the potential to endure as a clear
and literate portrait of its time' Observer
'A brilliant examination of the undertow of sadness and desperation that
tugs at the American dream' New Statesman
'It's got more sex, booze and drama than The OC!' New Woman
