“A magical book, The Drifts unfolds with grace and style, like a delicious Baroque fugue, like a curious delicacy made of swirling, contrapuntal salts and sweets. Ambitious and yet always intimate, always mindful of its characters’ interiors, The Drifts reminds us why we read novels in the first place – to hear voices in our heads. Voices that sing and spit, hum and rage, luxuriate and curse in equal, and vital, measure. “
– R.M. Vaughn, author of Troubled
