Recenzii
"Sara Dillon's captivating protagonist, Catherine Darcy "Cat runs through life restlessly moving back and forth, as does the narrative, which is darkly comic and lyrical at its core. Cat is quirky and wildly entrancing her encounters with a large cast of equally compelling characters keeps you reading to stay abreast." Merrill Leffler, author of Mark the Music -- Merrill Leffler
". . . a book to read, to re-read, and to remember. One woman's life and adventures, in prose that is lyrical, alive, and truly original." Marie Ashe, legal scholar and professor at Suffolk University School of Law -- Marie Ashe
"There have been many midlife-crisis novels. But Sara Dillon brings a special grace and ruefulness to this one, narrated by a woman who has ditched her "sensible" career teaching law school to drag her two young adopted children up to Greensboro. There she rents a house out of season and reflects on a past full of travel, lovers and "motifs" passions for a person or a place that she always ended up "escaping." "I blew it, really," she admits. Dillon's masterful impressionistic sketches of travels in Ireland, Japan and other places lift the novel out of the category of navel-gazing. Her heroine's regrets may not be the stuff of page-turners, but they have the ring of truth." - Seven Days: Vermont's Independent Voice -- Seven Days
