Ms. Fowler has masterfully embedded her ideas about perception within a rousing, completely satisfying entertainment. The layers to this book are many, finely wrought, subtle, and beautifully timed. They play off one another internally; they glint and occasionally dazzle us with the light which can only emulate from our recognition of ourselves in the mirror that is SARAH CANARY.
