Review:
" [Messud is] a novelist of unnerving talent."
-- "The New York Times Book Review"
" A fine first novel, and the ' first' is deceptive, for its author has the daring and assurance to take on Iris Murdoch-like questions about goodness and truth."
-- "The New Yorker"
" In its rich detail and its humor, this is a wry, uplifting book."
-- "The Independent on Sunday "(London)
" Beautiful. . . . [Messud] proceeds, sentence by sentence, image by image, character by character, to create a fully realized, multi-layered world. . . . [She] has the imagination, the craft and the understanding of human nature to write about anything she chooses."
-- "The Chicago Tribune"
