Dalla quarta di copertina:

"Sheila Weller has written a carousel ride of a memoir, complete with ups and downs, prize brass ring and the grim silence that comes when the music suddenly stops. The last pages are shattering in their revelation of the impact of family secrets. . . the heartbreaking account of a badly broken family."
- New York Times Book Review

"This chronicle of glamour, rage, sorrow and despair makes a substantial contribution to American social history."
- Washington Post

"Generous, unsparing... Dancing at Ciro's is an indelible portrait of the rich, fascinating, occasionally disappointing but altogether human life that beats inside everybody's parents."
- O Magazine

"[Weller's] story touches on every aspect of the American Dream, from middle-class striving to the unease and dysfunction it can mask."
- New York Magazine
