'A thoroughly beguiling story of love, loss and carrying on
regardless ... period-perfect detail ... irresistible.'
*The Mail on Sunday*
'A nuanced portrayal of the everyday intricacies of love and
friendship but set against a backdrop of extraordinary
tragedy.'
*The Independent*
'Judy Blume isn't just revered, she's revolutionary ... Blume,
whose fiction for adults has the same emotional immediacy as her
books for children, makes us feel the pure shock and wonder of
living.'
*The New York Times*
'Long-term Blume fans will be instantly at home in the company of
the novel's plucky heroine, Miri.'
*The Daily Telegraph*
'A major event ... utterly brilliant ... Never mind what she has
done before: it feels as if this is the book she has been waiting
her whole life to write. And it is, quite simply, extraordinary ...
There's a wonderful Mad Men feel to the detail of the period ...
The action is always undercut with Blume's trademark humanity and
humour ... Blume's fans – old and new – will approve.'
*The Observer*
'A great portrait of an era ... Blume's hallmark warmth and
humanity shine through and there is a loveliness to this novel in
its depths of philanthropy and human understanding. It leaves the
reader longing to meet the author for a soul-lifting
heart-to-heart. The fairy godmother is alive and well.'
*The Guardian*
