Review
"The "Bubble Reputation" is funny, touching, thought-provoking, and very hard to put down. It also generates the sort of excitement that only writers working at the very top of their form can provide. It feels a little like Fannie Flagg, a little like Anne Tyler, and mostly like Cathie Pelletier, back among the people she knows and loves. This is very good stuff, indeed." - Stephen King

"I don't know how Cathie Pelletier has done it, but she's done it again. The Bubble Reputation is pure magic, so ingeniously plotted and paced that I was fighting off tears one moment and snorting with laughter the next. Her natural storytelling talents are matched by an exquisite literary style. There are passages of tremulous lyrical beauty here, full of Cathie's love of life and her wry affection for humanity with its defenses down and all quirks flying." - Florence King, author of Confessions of a Failed Southern Lady
"Cathie Pelletier accomplishes what every great novelist should. She creates a place, invites you in, walks you around, talks to you, lets you see and feel and hear it, allows you to get to know the people." - Fannie Flagg, author of Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe
"Cathie Pelletier's bewitching novel is as much life-embracing comedy as real-life tragedy...as hilariously staged as a Noel Coward farce." - Elizabeth Lenhard, Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Bubble Reputation
Seller: World of Books Inc, Montgomery, IL, U.S.A.
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Hardback. Condition: Good. Rosemary O'Neal lived for eight years with William, in a rambling country house in Maine. Then William committed suicide on a trip to London, leaving her with questions, anger, and no way to say goodbye. When her zany family descends on the house, bringing a tidal wave of casseroles and their own petty problems, Rosemary retreats with her cat from the chaos of the world around them. (Her cat understands human nature better than Homo sapiens anyway.) It takes an unsettling turn of events to shock her back into the pitfalls of living and realize that life is a fleeting experience to be carefully savored. Award-winning author Cathie Pelletier has been called a bitingly funny, highly original novelist. In The Bubble Reputation, she redefines dysfunctional in this bittersweet, life-affirming story about the idiosyncrasies of family, the anguish of grief, and finding peace after chaos.
