Reviews

""Every eminent scholar relies upon A Feast of Words as the definitive psychological interpretation of Edith Wharton's life and work. Its importance has been phenomenal."" -- ""Kristin Olson Lauer, coauthor of Edith Wharton: An Annotated Secondary Bibliography"" ""Fields' powerful reading is richly seductive and melodic, but careful as well: she deftly shifts intonation slightly between Wharton and Wolff so that the reader never confuses the two. In the end, she reads a satisfying and scholarly portrait of the woman as artist."" -- ""AudioFile""
