Reviews
"Although billed as an autobiographical novel, it reads just like a memoir: pensive, particular, and honest. 'How to speak to the silences, the spaces between?' the narrator asks. Hill . . . has had the courage and skill to do just that." --New York Times Book Review
"Although modest in plot, it is abundant in understanding." --Los Angeles Times
"A beautiful book, with great lyric power and emotional resonance. In combining her passion for her daughter with her passion for experience and to know the world, Kathleen Hill makes a great contribution to our store of information about how women live. I am full of admiration for this small miracle." --Mary Gordon
"Here is a novel of fine social and cross-cultural observation, and, too, of moral inwardness--a wonderfully knowing storyteller with a strong spiritual bent tell us so very much about idealism and its vicissitudes, parenthood and its possibilities." --Robert Coles
