Recensioner i media

Jane Smiley writes with such perception about the emotional perversities that assail the human heart that she manages to convince us utterly of her characters' actions. With this volume she ratifies her claim as one of her generations most eloquent chroniclers of ordinary familial love, its pleasures and its frightening hazards
