Critics Review
One of my favourite writers
She has wit and insight to match Nick Hornby, and the entertainment value of Helen Fielding, as well as depth … It amounts to a picture of the way women’s lives have changed, without ever sacrificing the particular to the generalisation - Independent on The Future Homemakers of America
Superlative. The writing sparkles from first to last - Sunday Telegraph on The Future Homemakers of AmericaThis novel crackles with energy and snappy American dialogue. Laurie Graham conjures up five tough, funny, mouthy women, thrown together at an American airbase in Norfolk … Graham has pulled off an absolute triumph; the voice of her sassy narrator, the redoubtable Peggy, never falters as she unfolds 40 years of friendship - Daily Mail on The Future Homemakers of AmericaLaugh-out-loud funny; intelligent; moving; has more delicious roll-off-the-tongue one-liners than Seinfeld. One of those books you buy six copies of to send to all your old friends - Scotsman on The Future Homemakers of AmericaA delightfully smart and sophisticated historical novelist - Sunday TimesOne of my favourite writersAbout The Author
