Ingenious Collinss story holds everything up its sleeve for as long as possible Guardian

The Betrayals is a beautiful dystopian romance about coming of age as an artist and the love affair artistic collaboration can be, while also being an acute political novel about the fate of spiritual values in a totalitarian system. A rich delight Sandra Newman
