Su questo libro

Recensione:

Jane Hamilton has written a sex comedy, and the world is a better place for it. Laura Rider's Masterpiece is a densely observed and seriously droll novel that reads like a dream. Astute, brazen and very funny, Hamilton has flexed all her muscles here, coming up with a kind of Les Liaisons Dangereuses for our rapid-fire e-mail era. (Meg Wolitzer)

"This book is terrific. I wish I could read it for the first time again!" (New Yorker writer and author of Him Her Him Again The End of Him Patricia Marx 2008-01-00)
