Critics Review
Praise for Elizabeth Berg: ‘Berg oozes warmth, wisdom and generosity of spirit. Her writing is quite brilliant, as soft as a kiss, as sharp as a knife. An American Maeve Binchy, a modern-day Jane Austen, whatever praise you heap on Elizabeth Berg, she probably deserves it.
– Anna MaxtedBerg knows her characters intimately-she gets under their skin and leaves the reader with an indelible impression of lives challenged and changed. * The Seattle Times *Heartwrenching and hilarious. Berg sits somewhere between Anne Tyler and Alice Hoffman. * Chicago Sun-Times *Maybe Freud didn’t know the answer to what women want, but Elizabeth Berg certainly does. * USA Today *We loved this American family tale with its well drawn characters. It gripped like the best of thrillers * Bella *The author gets us to believe in her characters thereby making their ghastly dilemma seem all the more real. The result is a novel that, while staying just on the right side of sentimentality, is unafraid of dealing with strong emotions – Christina Koning * The Times *About The Author
