Review:
"A PROVOCATIVE READ . . .
Bringing the Rabbit novels' setting and actors credibly into the twenty-first century seems a warm gift from the author. That he renders their arrival with optimism makes the gift more dear."
"-The Cleveland Plain Dealer

"As in his last Rabbit novel, Mr. Updike writes with fluent access to Harry Angstrom's world, chronicling the developments in his hero's small Pennsylvania hometown with the casual ease of a longtime intimate. With compassion and bemused affection, he traces the many large and small ways in which Harry's actions continue to reverberate through the lives of his widow, Janice, and their son, Nelson, and the equally myriad ways in which their decisions are influenced, consciously or unconsciously, by their memories of him."
