Praise
Salon
"Sharp manages to construct deep characters and complex relations with just a few sentences--the sign of a natural storyteller. And she does not shy away from difficult subjects....Not flawless, but a well-drawn, satisfying circle." - Edward Neuert 08/22/2000 New York Times Book Review
"From a technical standpoint, the book might have been written 50 years ago; it's an old-fashioned storytelling novel. But the story is so involving...that this particular gripe seems irrelevant if not mean-spirited....I loved this book, probably more than it deserves, but I can't help it--Sharp's gifts are enormous." - Craig Seligman 08/27/2000
