"A careful, elegant writer...the trick to what Ms. Packer does lies
 in the utterly lifelike quality of her book's everyday detail, and
 the secret, graceful ways in which that detail becomes
 revealing."

— The New York Times

“Packer has a wonderfully optimistic yet realistic view of  humanity.”

— Chicago Tribune
