Recensione:

"McCauley's best . . . With his self-effacing wit and disarming compassion for even the most unlikely characters, McCauley proves once again that he's the master of the modern comedy of manners." -- USA Today

"Hilarious, poignant, and true. Wickedly insightful about the millennium's two greatest obsessions: sex and real estate." -- Darren Star, creator of Sex and the City

"Stephen McCauley is a social satirist in the tradition of Evelyn Waugh and Oscar Wilde . . . with fierce, occasionally lacerating wit; a gimlet eye for human foibles; and a commendable willingness to dally in ambivalence and moral ambiguity." -- Los Angeles Times

"A light, diverting romp through eminently adult concerns: sex, real estate, fidelity and housecleaning. . . . Full of the complications of modern life. . . . Loony and delicious . . . a delightful story." -- San Francisco Chronicle
