“I CAN FEEL IT ALL OVER is an astounding debut. I have never read a novel that so vividly renders the sensory experiences of living in the world, and of living in a body in conflict with the world. Harmony’s voice, rendered in Ebonya Lia’s masterful prose, is wry, resonant, and utterly original — few narrators are such a delight to spend time with, and I found myself missing Harmony when I left the page. I CAN FEEL IT ALL OVER is full of humor and heartbreak, visceral pain and infectious hope; it is the story of one woman’s radical defiance of everyone else’s expectations, and of carving out a life for oneself against the odds; it addresses, unflinchingly, what it might mean to break free of the strictures of others and truly live on one’s own terms.”
-Naomi Xu Elegant, author of Gingko Season
"An astonishing and visceral debut, I CAN FEEL IT ALL OVER interrogates the body as a site of both liberation and restriction. Against the social backdrop of collective protest, protagonist Harmony reckons with a corporeality at once isolating and ungovernable. Ebonya Lia’s prose hums with an energetic fury. I did not so much consume this book as let myself be consumed by it.”
