A writer of tremendous intelligence and grace.” —The Philadelphia Inquirer“Boldly modulated tales of displacement and blazing moments of truth. . . . Riveting, vaguely Hitchcockian. . . . Piercingly tender. . . . Outstanding.” —The New York Times Book Review“Immensely appealing. . . . Told with dazzling insight and emotional daring.” —Elle“[Egan] deftly depicts the ways in which women can create glamorously detailed personas for another based on passing observations.” —Time
