Why did I love this book?
It's a difficult balance, writing a novel that touches both the mind and the heart. But Mad Honey does so, delivering a plausible and poignant story that makes us think, challenges our perceptions, and, at the same time, affects us deeply emotionally.

Mad Honey was my introduction to both of these authors, and I can make no better recommendation than to say I will be seeking out more of their work--a lot more of their work.
