“Visceral and elegantly brutal, Joanna Ruocco’s latest deftly zags from feculent domesticity to brotherly nightmare. A startling, alarming, and highly accomplished book.”

“Joanna Ruocco is very funny and very serious and very smart and very curious and very good at making stories that map the unmappable wrinkles of the mind. Another Governess/The Least Blacksmith confirms Ruocco’s major talent and takes it a step further. What a pleasure to read her work, to revel in it.”
