"Truly Magical . . . Unforgettable . . . The first-person narrator is Olivia Laguni, and her unrelenting nemesis from childhood on is her half-sister, Kwan Li . . . It is Kwan's haunting predictions, her implementation of the secret senses, and her linking of the present with the past that cause this novel to shimmer with meaning - and to leave it in the reader's mind when the book has long been finished." -- The San Diego Tribune
