"Caldwell has achieved the impossible with poetic ascents to the peaks of hilarious prose. A lovelorn American, a loony aunt, eccentric neighbors, and a corpse who insists on surfacing at every opportunity inhabit this very funny novel."
– Malachy McCourt
“This charming, at times hilarious, tale serves as a satisfying story as well as a quiet commentary on the sympathetic relationship between imagination and compassion.”
– LIBRARY JOURNAL
