Bold, insightful, witty, and exhilarating. This novel about an extraordinary young woman looking for a place to belong is one of the most compelling and beloved voices in contemporary fiction. This could be the story of someone you know. Maybe your own??

I loved this book. Although I usually don't like books set in cities,I liked the Manhatten setting. The character had a great view of life. Although she was comfortable with both the upper class and the lower class, she was constantly making sharp observations about both. Great dialogue, great characters and great ending.

Susan Isaacs peppers this work with her off-the-wall humor. I read her for her descriptions if for not anything else. You will find what she says will lift at least one corner of your mouth in a smile if she doesn't make you guffaw.

A story that comes along quietly but surprises several times. Have read this twice. Funny and contemplative.

I stayed up so late last night trying to finish this book that my vision was totally blurred. Had to pick it up this morning for the last few pages.

All-in-all a good book. The search for a parent becomes the theme around which a poignant love story takes place. Without spoiling it for anyone, the slow start is quickly overtaken by the compelling story of a seious writer who almost outthinks every situation.

Susan Isaacs is always a good read!

I hadn't read anything of Susan Isaacs in years, but I ended up liking this -- the main character is flawed (of course) but in a way that you feel for her. The story was engaging and the ending satisfying.
