Loud and Clear

“The works that Quindlen has chosen to include here are frequently touching . . . often eloquent . . . but they all exemplify her gift as a writer—commenting on the little things in life in a way that speaks to many people.”—Fort Worth Star-Telegram

“With deft writing, Anna Quindlen captures the societal blips that shape a culture.”—The Miami Herald

“These razor-sharp musings will open avenues of debate and discussion long after the book is closed. Quindlen is at the top of her game when she turns her eagle eye on the tiny threads that make up the fiber of domestic life. . . . Quindlen’s columns speak for themselves, loud and clear.”—Publishers Weekly

“She is a master of blending the personal and the political and finding the humanity in an often inhumane world. . . . The type of pundit you want to have whispering in your ear when you get into a philosophical discussion at a dinner party. She always comes up with cogent, reasoned arguments.”—Tacoma News Tribune
