Review
A luminous telling of two modern romances, a book that lingers sweetly and hilariously in the memory. Dallas Morning News
Abounds in good lines, aphorisms, advice to both the loved and the lovelorn. The New York Times
An elegant, fresh, funny tale of four people in love . There s electricity here... pure delight. Village Voice
A pleasure . Endless surprises and ultimately boundless joy . It would be difficult not to enjoy it all! The New Yorker
Colwin s view of the world is comic with a subtle sense of sadness, and her love for even her most intractable characters does not keep her from laughing at their expense. The Times-Picayune (New Orleans)
[Laurie Colwin] handles feeling as cunningly as Ann Beattie and Frederick Barthelme handle numbness. Los Angeles Times
If Laurie Colwin were an artist instead of a writer, she would be a maker of those small, delicious drawings dropped into the text of The New Yorker. . . . She is a master of lovely incidentals the curve of the belly of a pitcher, the color of a blue Staffordshire plate, the comfort of nursery food on cold days. Christian Science Monitor
Colwin is ingenious, comedic, and spirited. The Boston Globe
[Colwin s] novels . . . have great charm a charm that comes from a calm, witty and observant world view and her engaging writing style. She describes normal life with normal people; she writes about love, relationships and families. She illuminates modern urban romance. She looks at the way husbands and wives, brothers and sisters and, almost inevitably in a Colwin novel, extramarital lovers deal with each other. It might be boring if not for the acuteness of her insight. Buffalo News
A truly wonderful writer. The Orlando Sentinel
Colwin writes with such sunny skill, and such tireless enthusiasm. Joyce Carol Oates, The New York Times Book Review
The successor to Dorothy Parker and Dawn Powell. Roger Friedman
A writer of originality and vision. San Francisco Chronicle "
