“An emotional wallow comparable to that produced by Sue Miller’s
The Good Mother or Jane Hamilton’s A Map of the World…
The saga of these endearing characters will hold readers’ interest
right up to the bittersweet ending.” - Publishers Weekly “If you love the feel of Anne Tyler’s novels, then this has your name all over it. An exquisite story running the A-Z of emotions … a beauty.” - Daily Mirror (London) “The idea of what really is normal has never before seemed so extraordinary - or so beautifully shared.” - The Boxx Review “In rich and limpid prose, LeClaire shifts the point of view … focusing on the small acts that get us through the day, or the night, or not. Full of sentiment and big-hearted… A woman’s book in the best possible sense...” - Booklist “Lyrical…A satisfying story of people whom the reader comes to care about nearly as much as the characters come to care about each other. LeClaire takes the reader down a rich path.” - The Denver Post “A gentle, spirited novel about friendship and survival.” - USA Today “A deeply affecting novel about the extraordinary ways in which ordinary people struggle to find their share of happiness and hope and love and connection – and ultimately succeed. A smart, compassionate literary page-turner…” - Manette Ansay, author of Vinegar Hill “A deeply moving novel deeply rooted in the mysteries and triumphs of life.” - Connie Mae Fowler, author of Remembering Blue “A wise and wonderful book…The swift pace makes you turn the pages faster and faster – and the charms of this book make you want to linger.” - Nancy Thayer, author of Three Women at the Water’s Edge |
