'A great American novel. Wharton's eye is sharp as an eagle's, his pitch, perfect; his understanding of the emotions, deeply moving. He reaches us, crucially, naturally, where we live' - Rebecca Sinkler, Philadelphia Inquirer 'Brilliantly constructed, immediate and moving, painful and funny, and finally deeply cathartic' - Allen Lacy, San Francisco Chronicle
