"Silver Girl is an act of mesmerism, of
misdirection; it appears slight and forgettable, but turns out to have more
substance and permanence than half the novels on a given bookshelf.
Thematically, it’s ambitious: irreconcilable conflicts regarding money abide
within it, as well as enduring mysteries about female friendship and a spooky
motif of displacement and replacement. Nothing is as it seems between its
pages, or between its characters."
