Book Reviews:

“Schine has a gift for transforming the pathos and comedy of everyday life into luminous fiction.” —Entertainment Weekly

“Schine’s latest novel combines the dark, pithy humor of a Lorrie Moore short story with quieter insights into aging, death, and the love, loneliness, and incomprehension that gets passed back and forth between generations.” —Tablet

“Schine is a master at limning family dynamics in all their messiness . . . Replete with aging parents, grandchildren growing up faster than one would like, and adult children wanting to take charge but being stifles by their mother’s stubbornness, this could be any reader’s clan. In addition, Schine’s ability to shift seamlessly from one person’s point of view to another’s adds depth and richness.” —Library Journal
