“FBI Girl is a gorgeous, sumptuous book. Conlon-McIvor takes a subject (herself and her family) that might have sunk in other hands, beats egg white under her words and the whole thing rises like a dream. It's a love story for her people and for a time and place. Read it.” PeopleBookWholeStoriesDreamHandsMightGirlWhiteSubjectsBeatsLove StoryEggsGorgeousFbiSumptuous Author:Alexandra Fuller

“Until I read Anne Frank's diary, I had found books a literal escape from what could be the harsh reality around me.
