About this title

Review:

"Praise for Elizabeth Berg:
'Berg oozes warmth, wisdom and generosity of spirit. Her writing is quite brilliant, as soft as a kiss, as sharp as a knife. An American Maeve Binchy, a modern-day Jane Austen, whatever praise you heap on Elizabeth Berg, she probably deserves it." (Anna Maxted)

"Berg knows her characters intimately-she gets under their skin and leaves the reader with an indelible impression of lives challenged and changed." (The Seattle Times)

"Heartwrenching and hilarious. Berg sits somewhere between Anne Tyler and Alice Hoffman." (Chicago Sun-Times)

"Maybe Freud didn't know the answer to what women want, but Elizabeth Berg certainly does." (USA Today)

"We loved this American family tale with its well drawn characters. It gripped like the best of thrillers" (Bella)

From the Publisher:

‘What a lovely writer. Clever, compassionate and superbly skilled, she writes about her characters so poignantly and perceptively that few can match her.’ Elizabeth Buchan, bestselling author of Revenge of the Middle-Aged Woman
