Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“[Friend of My Youth is] a wonderful collection of stories, beautifully written and deeply felt.” New York Times
“The primary characters, mainly women, have diverse relationships with their families and other unusual acquaintances. The plots are sometimes funny, sometimes tragic, but always within the realm of realism…Recommended.” Library Journal
