Gossip of the Starlings

• Alicia Erian Gossip of the Starlings Nina de Gramont   Welcome to Nina de Gramont's first novel, a synonym for tour de force.... Rarely has a book married such finely wrought lyricism with such a page-turning plot. You want a story about prep school? This is a story about prep school.

• Jacquelyn Mitchard Gossip of the Starlings Nina de Gramont   When almost-good-girl Catherine Morrow, just 16, crosses paths at boarding school with the blithe, brilliant daughter of a senator, their friendship seems destined to soar, and it does -- but too close to the sun. Nina de Gramont has written a stunning story of youth at its zenith and the tragic allure of a reckless zest for life that masks something far darker. I inhaled this novel in one breath.

• Luis Alberto Urrea Gossip of the Starlings Nina de Gramont   Exquisite. Nina de Gramont's prose seems wrought from gold filaments. The story lifts off the page and hovers around you as you read. Real people and real feelings in a performance that is full-bodied and--more impressively--full of real soul. I won't forget this book.
