"Deftlystructured and . . . seamless." --Globe and Mail (Toronto)

"[A]nuanced and layered portrait of betrayal. . . . The strength of Far to Golies in Pick's ability to show precisely why one person could turn on another, how a single word spoken on impulse could have devastating results." --MontrealGazette
