* Highly recommended by Jonathan Safran Foer, author of Everything Is Illuminated. As he writes in his review of Egg & Nest:
"What kind of genius is Rosamond Purcell? Is she an artist? A scholar? A documentarian? A living cabinet of wonders? Her originality defies category, as does her newest triumph, Egg & Nest. Crack its shell."
