All of Edan Lepucki's novels contain an almost palpable tension, and Time's Mouth is her most suspenseful. It's not the pseudo-cult, the rituals, or the time travel orchestrated with moon cycles that makes Time's Mouth enchanting. What's beguiling is the manner in which Lepucki cracks open the emotional fissures of families, motherhood, and loss. This fierce generational family saga haunted me between chapters.
