Industry reviews
"Word by word, metaphor by metaphor, [Alice] McDermott writes the most exquisitely perceptive and atmospheric fiction published today. Heir to Woolf and Nabokov, she nets the totality of human consciousness in flawlessly rendered...fiction." [Starred review] (07/01/2006) "[Alice] McDermott is at the height of her powers here, charging her seemingly ordinary scenes with the possibility of danger, of terror or mystery and, on occasion, radiance. She does so with the lightest touch, with the silkiest humor, and yet at the same time she probes deeply into the moment." (09/03/2006) "Ms. McDermott gives us an affecting meditation on the consolations and discontents of family life--the centripetal and centrifugal forces that bind husbands and wives, parents and children together and fling them ineluctably apart." (09/08/2006) "The novel embodies the tension between the climactic expectations we bring to books (and, indeed, our lives) and truth's anticlimactic tug. Characters brighten into glowing complexity and then, trampled by the 'march of time,' are all but extinguished in terrifyingly casual flash-forwards that, within the space of a paragraph, effectively write off all the writing that's been devoted to them....Her true subject is her inability, in good conscience, to fully credit the significance of the human travails she describes with such care." (10/01/2006)
