Ken and I don’t feel that every single word of a review needs to appear here on our page.  We’ve cut to the heart of the matter and condensed the Kirkus review to this:

“Whitaker has…insight…charm….”

. . . . . . . .

And the Publisher’s Weekly one to this:

“…Whitaker’s…debut…is full of… style….”

The readers themselves have been very complimentary, for which we are most grateful.  You can see their comments scattered here and there:  on amazon, barnes and noble, goodreads, etc.  Thank you, dear readers!

“A lively, cosmopolitan novel…Whitaker writes with style and aplomb, a sense of fun, and a sense of humanity.”

Elin Hilderbrand, author of Silver Girl.

“Succeeds brilliantly as a comedy of manners because of Whitaker’s pitch-perfect depictions of human foibles and graceful renderings of awkward siutuations. But the book works on a much deeper level, too: as a meditation on marriage, solitude, personal freedom and parenting that is as thought-provoking as it is entertaining.”

Meg Mitchell Moore, author of The Arrivals, and So Far Away.

“Smart, clever, moving, and surprising at every turn. Funny and wise, this is a tale of modern love about parents who love their children more than they don’t love each other.”

Laura Zigman, author of Animal Husbandry and Piece of Work.
