Booklist calls Kathleen McCleary’s debut novel “poignant” and “gently humorous,” with characters that are “utterly alive” and locations that are “exquisitely described.”
However, our favorite part is where the reviewer declares, “This book also has one of the best opening paragraphs in recent memory, and is altogether so superior it’s hard to believe that it’s a debut. Readers who enjoy fine women’s fiction, such as Mary Alice Monro’s Sweetgrass (2005), will be delighted to discover this new author.”
