Recensione:

"When it comes to hearing and replicating the way people speak, Kaye Gibbons has perfect pitch. . . . Years from now, [these] women's clear, strong words will still be resonating in my mind." —Anne Tyler, Chicago Tribune

"A witty and explosive story about men and women, bad girls and good girls, love and laundry." —Houston Post
