Review:
"Love, family, marriage, illness and money--this is a life story and a love story for our era, beautifully observed, sharply etched by a master storyteller."--Amy Bloom, author of "Away and Where the God of Love Hangs Out"
"In" Three Stages of Amazement", Carol Edgarian gives you a brilliant and irresistible look at married life and happiness and the very human limitations of both. She's a wonderful writer."--James Salter, author of "Light Years" and "A Sport and a Pastime"
""In this gorgeously written, haunting and often hilarious novel, Carol Edgarian conjures a particular moment in America's recent history and unleashes within it a collision of universal forces: love, desire, ambition, loyalty. I can't think of a book that more viscerally evokes the gritty challenge-and casual heroism-of motherhood and marriage."--Jennifer Egan, author of "A Visit from the Goon Squad"
"It's a great heart in a great author who loves the villains in a story while fully imbuing the heroes with human flaws and hungers... Seldom have such a true portraits of our era, or any era, appeared."--Rick Bass, author of "Where the Sea Used to Be" and "Why I Came West"
"A lovely, resonant novel... This story feels universal. Not to mention generous and graceful and true."--"O", the Oprah magazine
"Furiously compelling... "Three Stages of Amazement" is a fiery, deeply involving book."--Janet Maslin, "New York Times"
"Carol Edgarian's novel is a book about grown-ups for grown-ups. Given that we never really grow up, yet have to make our way in the world, it ends up being thought provoking, intelligent, wise, sad, and illuminating. If that makes it sound too lofty, it's not: it's humane and therefore sometimes funny, and it nails the complexities of adulthood with a steel hammer held gently in very capable hands."--Ann Beattie, author of "Walks with Men" and "Ann Beattie: The New Yorker Stories "
"Edgarian ("Rise the Euphrates") spares no emotion in this big, lovely second novel about decent people falling apart under the demands that there be more than 24 hours in a day and more than parental determination to juggle life's realities against the heart's desire."
--"Library Journal" (starred)
