“ SOLD is a demanding at at times painful book to read.
“McCormick uses language both lyrical and spare to lead the reader into this deeply troubled and troubling world …this is a story of courage, which is precisely what it takes to plant one’s literary work in unfamiliar soil.” This important book was written in their honor.” “Hearbreaking … McCormick’s research for this novel involved interviewing women in Nepal and India, and her depth of detail makes the characters believable and their misery palpable. “McCormick provides readers who live in safety and under protection of the law with a vivid window into a harsh and cruel world-one most would prefer to pretend doesn’t exist.” “The writing is breathtaking in both its simplicity and attention to detail … stunning … this novel is not to be missed.” “An unforgettable account of sexual slavery as it exists now.”
The author beautifully balances the harshness of brothel life with the poignant relationships among its residents.”
