Good Housekeeping


Coming from moneyed backgrounds, married couple Edgar and Fern Keating react in a surprising fashion to their impending insolvency.... Ausubel offers an incisive look at...this couple and...family.... There is true wit in the author’s depiction...and with characters this memorable, the pages almost turn themselves.
Publishers Weekly


Ausubel offers a piercing view of the subtleties of class and privilege and what happens when things go awry.
Booklist


(Starred review.) Fortunes and hearts are lost and found in a modern fairy tale set in the 1960s and '70s. Ausubel's trademark combination of realist narrative with fabulist elements shines.... [Her] magical, engrossing prose style perfectly fits this magical, engrossing story.
