* Maria Semple *A terrific novel, funny and moving, wistful and wise. Evison's writing crackles on the page. * Jess Walter *
Evison is a ridiculously gifted storyteller … an irresistible, inventive novel full of important ideas about how we live our lives as parents, children, partners, and human beings. * Jami Attenberg *
A gifted raconteur with a wicked sense of humor and an unflagging empathy for humankind in all its sad, foible-filled magnificence. * Patrick DeWitt *
