"Wolitzer is as precise and rigorous an observer of social status
as Tom Wolfe; she is as invisibe and pitiless and clear-eyed a
chronicler of female-male tandems as Philip Roth or John Updike."
--Chicago Tribune
"Very entertaining. The tartly funny Wolitzer is a miniaturist who
can nail a contemporary type, scene, or artifact with deadeye
accuracy." --The New York Times
"Wolitzer perfectly captures her women's resolve in the face of a
dizzying array of conflicting loyalties. To whom does a woman owe
her primary allegiance? Her children? Her mother? Her friends,
spouse, community? God forbid, herself?" --The Washington

"What determines a woman's worth?... Wolitzer's middle-aged moms
are flawed: selfish, neurotic, and occasionally petty. But they--
and their conflicts-- feels vividly, satisfyingly real."
--Entertainment Weekly
"Wolitzer's great ear for dialogues and for insinuating humor into
seriousness make this noel a though-provoking pleasure to read."
--The Seattle Times
