Recenzii
"Tessa Hadley's gift as a writer is so considerable that her characters' revelations and predicaments linger in the mind long after her narrative has darted off in other directions."--Alice Traux, "The New York Times Book Review"
"A warm novel that follows the contours of four generations of a family and, in the end, shows us ourselves."--Associated Press on "Everything Will Be All Right"
"Marvelously intricate . . . Hadley's intelligence puts her in the company of Carol Shields and Doris Lessing."--"The Boston Globe "on" Accidents in the Home"
"Miraculous . . . Deft and resonant, [these stories] encapsulate moments of hope and humiliation in a kind of shorthand of different lives lived. Hadley never fails to surprise."--"The New York Times Book Review ""Tessa Hadley's gift as a writer is so considerable that her characters' revelations and predicaments linger in the mind long after her narrative has darted off in other directions."--Alice Traux, "The New York Times Book Review"
