Critical reception[edit]

Following its initial publication in 2012, her first novel INK was compared to The Handmaid’s Tale for its ability to show "how people can be lulled into huge, damaging changes to society by adjusting to them in increments.[37] Following its reissue in 2018, INK is attracting notice for, among other things, astutely "portend[ing] the Trump administration’s crackdown on legal and illegal immigration and the anti-immigration sentiment that has surged during the Trump presidency, four years before he was elected."[38]
