"Mrs. Seton's book has an unflinching with and seriousness and a sustained and subtle intelligence. And it has an idea - half-sisterhood - which may indeed be emblematic of the present state of relations among many women, whether blood sisters or not." - Lucy Rosenthal, Ms.
"A flawless novel of manners, women and love. . . .Not only consistently entertaining but a valid and incisive picture of how married women of that in-between generation - in their forties now, too young to have known the high-kicking '20s, too old to be part of the '60s revolt - are coming to terms with the new feminism. In this fine second novel, Cynthia Propper Seton seems on her way to becoming an American Doris Lessing - that mistress of self-exploring fiction - only softer voiced, less heavy-handed. . .the two of them half-sisters, you might say." - Mary Ellin Barrett, Cosmopolitan
Genre: General Fiction
