Starred reviews from both Kirkus Reviews and Publishers' Weekly for
Rachel Cantor's forthcoming novel
Good on Paper (Jan. 26, 2016)!
Kirkus (STARRED REVIEW): "... Cantor clearly loves her characters, and she shows true mastery of their inner lives. Between endearingly wonky riffs about translation, she offers full access to Shira’s roller coaster of emotions, the collisions of her past and present, and keeps us hanging on through every curve. You’ll want to reread the final chapters more than once, delighted anew each time by how well Cantor speaks our language."
PW (STARRED REVIEW): “… Translation is a metaphor through which Cantor uses her considerable powers with language to refract larger questions about family bonds, storytelling, and letting go of fantasies of new life and waking up to the life that is yours.”
