A triumph! Witty, acute, and compassionate... Alther has great emotional range. She can give you the hush of New Hampshire woods in the winter. She can get a sad smile out of you, and she can make you laugh. |

Powerful, tender and wry... Alther's genius as a novelist is her ability to capture and juxtapose the odd combinations of personality, gender, class, culture, family life, and chance that shape human destinies. |
