"Quill &amp; Quire" calls the book a page-turner and "[a] lovely mix of highbrow literature and lowbrow melodrama." Carol Birch writing for "The Guardian" notes the able mix of contrast in the novel as "a sense of the turbulence beneath the surface calm of small lives in small towns underpins this beautiful and subtle book." "Kirkus Reviews" in their starred review of the novel noted it to be based similarly to Arnold Bennett's classic 1908 novel, "The Old Wives' Tale". Online magazine "BookBrowse" calls it "a mesmerizing tribute to friendship and sisterhood, romance and redemption."
