review 1: This is my 3rd novel by this author and I am about to start on her short stories volume. i am addicted to her writing. Cost is a deeply moving and engaging look at addiction, family dynamics and love. Ms Robinson, true to form, writes about families with keen insight and understanding. I eagerly await her next novel. This is writing to sink ones teeth into. Complex, intelligient and gorgeous prose.
review 2: Author Roxana Robinson has written an excellent account of the toll addiction can take on a family. She also does an admirable job revealing what an addict thinks and how the need for a drug takes precedence over everything else. While the book is slow to get going and is for the most part told from the mother's point of view, it offers a solid account abou... moret why heroin is such a scourge on this nation. less
