Критика

NANCY GILSON, THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH

"... a lovely, heart-wrenching coming-of-age story that spans generations ... [a] remarkably economic narrative ... As the years pass, the desires, ambitions and foibles of all the characters emerge gently but persistently. Woodson's writing is so lyrical and touching that it can make a reader ache ... a beautiful analysis of adolescence, sexual desire, parenthood and self-discovery through the lens of one American family."

DEBRA GLOSTER, PITTSBURGH POST-GAZETTE

"Ms. Woodson takes you into the thoughts of each character, making the pages come alive with her descriptive text ... One of the strengths of the book is how Ms. Woodson includes the music of the time to transport the reader to that era ... One topic that hit home was 9/11 and how tragedy affected everyone from every background. Ms. Woodson shows how this tragedy touched us all ... This book is highly recommended. It will have you laughing and crying at the same time."
