Reviews / Votes
"The real prize is Patina's voice. Powerful without being preachy, her language has a rhythmic pulse filled with humour, wonder and insight" - NEW YORK TIMES; "Reynolds creates a fully dimensional, conflicted character whose hard-earned pragmatism helps her bring her relay team together" - KIRKUS REVIEWSMore details
