Reviews
"Susan Minot's writing is like a diamond knife on ice. Always has been." --Elizabeth Strout, author of Olive Kitteridge "Minot exquisitely explores desire and denial, intimacy and illusion in aravishing, haunting, and insightful tale of sexual ecstasy and emotional torment, integrity andcreativity, self and motherhood." -- Booklist (starred review) "Spare and polished. . . . Minot is an elegant writer, her sentences and paragraphs stylishly cropped, her dialogue quotation mark-free, her epigraphs chosen from classic sources: Rilke, Emerson, Lao Tzu, Oscar Wilde, Henry James, Rumi. In pellucid prose she captures each of the emotional states Ivy cycles through on the roller coaster of erotic fascination, delusion, bliss, mania, devastation--while also buffeted by the emotions and responsibilities of motherhood and of a career as a writer." -- Kirkus Reviews, "Susan Minot's writing is like a diamond knife on ice.
