| Baltimore Sun， Nov.11， 1984 A triumph! Witty， acute， and compassionate....Alther has great emotional range. She can give you the hush of New Hampshire woods in the winter. She can get a sad smile out of you， [and] she can make you laugh. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. Jane Futcher， San Francisco Chronicle， Oct.28， 1984 Alther's genius as a novelist is her ability to capture and juxtapose the odd combinations of personality， gender， class， culture， family life and chance that shape human destinies.... Artfully counterpointing the feelings of client and therapist， Alther demonstrates the terror and comfort generated by the psychotherapeutic process....Her analysis of the failure of Caroline's relationship with her lover Diana is one of the most original， poignant and refreshing passages I've read about a lesbian relationship gone sour....Alther， like the fictional character of Caroline， has grown and developed as a novelist. By focusing her enormous energy and appetite on a single， subtle and deep relationship， rather than creating a complex universe of characters， she has produced an important and satisfying novel about the human psyche. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
