Recensione:

"Once again, Alix Kates Shulman showers gifts of insight on her readers, in this wonderfully wise, achingly honest memoir. . . . Everybody on these pages comes across with the vivid immediacy of life."
--Rebecca Goldstein, author of Mazel

"A stunning memoir. Shulman is a brilliant and completely captivating writer."
--Harriet Lerner, Ph.D., author of The Dance of Anger

"Shulman takes on the most daunting of challenges a contemporary memoirist can face--a happy childhood and a loving set of parents--and brings it off triumphantly in this uniquely wise, perceptive, bittersweet, and emotionally satisfying book."
--Phillip Lopate, author of Portrait of My Body

"As more and more of us live to unprecedented ages, inheriting our parents' care, may we do so with Alix's grace, insight, and good humor."
--Nancy Mairs, author of Remembering the Bone House
