About this title

Review:

"With vibrancy and a steady barrage of linguistic bio, . . . Weber provides a blend of artistry and insight far beyond what we usually see in a first novel."--Andy Solomon, " The San Francisco Chronicle""Wonderfully complex characters, witty prose, ironic situations and tragic consequences . . . It's Weber's control of the language that holds this cleverly touching book together."--Jean Blish Siers, " Charlotte Observer""Engaging . . . Ms. Weber's nuanced renderings of childhood traumas, of families in crisis and of Harriet's grandmother are impressive."--Elizabeth Benedict, "The New York Times Book Review""An amazing first novel . . . wise, flippant, deep, witty--characteristics which are seldom found together. It is also a good story."--Madeleine L'Engle

From the Author:

I'm a grateful author who thanks devoted readers
When you publish a first novel, very often the response is....nothing much. So I'm gratified that my first novel was so thoroughly reviewed and I am profoundly grateful to those readers who have let me know that they were both moved and entertained. If the world doesn't allow writers to publish those first novels, where are second, third, fourth novels going to come from? Please keep reading first novels! (But don't forget to read second novels!)
