“Beautiful Young Women” is another fantastic piece. As the story progresses, what looks like an all-girls boarding school reveals itself as something slightly more sinister and strange, themes of female adolescence and eroticism delicately coalesce in a seaside setting and conclude with a resounding finish.
–Lauren Kane, The Paris Review Daily

What [Wood] does with this character is as mesmerizing as the Milky Way on a cloudless night...The complexity of the strange intersections of motherhood, marriage, and desire are expertly done through this one silent character…”
