memory.” —The Dallas Morning News

funny one, too.” —The Washington Post

“A comedy of manners that reminds us that manners are comic and
should be enjoyed as such.” —The New York Times

with both élan and emotional depth.... How wonderful it is that her
books are still with us.” —The Christian Science Monitor
