Praise
New York Times Book Review
"Alison Lurie is not what anyone would call a 'nice' writer. Indeed, it is because of her inspired crankiness, her resistance to cant and hypocrisy, that I relish her elegant, occasionally savage novels...In her fiction, Ms. Lurie is often cutting, but never heartless." - David Leavitt
