About this title

Review:

"Isaacs has created one tough cookie in Gloria Garrison."--Estelle Lander "Newsday "

"The women who inhabit Isaacs' books are smart, sexy, a little snarky, and filled with some serious chutzpah....Goldberg Variations is no exception."--Rachel Martin "NPR's "Weekend Edition" "

"This wise, witty, relationship-driven novel is a truly original family saga....Readers will find Goldberg Variations enchanting from beginning to end."--Ellen Meister "Long Island Woman "

"Gloria Garrison, née Goldberg, is the sort of matriarch who takes the passive out of passive-aggressive...Goldberg Variations is always at its most engaging when [Gloria] is at her least."--Jan Stuart "The New York Times Book Review "

"A deliciously wicked tale of family dysfunction..."--Publishers Weekly

"Isaacs' whip-smart, shrewdly scathing, and spirited portrait of a malevolent matriarch worthy of the Brothers Grimm and her Disneyesque coterie of too-good-to-be-true grandchildren is both a saucy satire and a redemptive study of the indelible bonds of families."--Booklist

"Always sassy, smart and wickedly witty, Susan Isaacs' novel is both hilariously funny and a moving tale of family, faith and reconciliation."--Book of the Month club

"Isaacs is a master of witty fiction with an undercurrent of emotional truth."--USA Today
