Description
"Gardam can see deep into the hearts of both parents and children as the balance of power tips . . . her sly style is perfect for this muted but primal struggle." (The New York Times Book Review)
"This novel about a friendship among three 17-year old girls powerfully evokes the people and the period at the end of WWII...At turns hugely funny and deeply moving." (The Atlantic Monthly)
