'Round Midnight (McBride) - Book Reviews

Book Reviews
[M]oving, intertwined stories of four women in Las Vegas.… [T]his diverse group of complex women intersect in surprising ways…a tale of love, loss, and the unexpected, unheralded ways that lives meet around blackjack and roulette tables.
Publishers Weekly


[A] jewel of a nov­el. Haunting and unpredictable, 'Round Midnight is the beautifully told story of how fates intertwine in ways we can’t plan.
BookPage


If McBride is trying to prove what one of her characters declares—that if you change one life, you change the world—she succeeds magnificently.… McBride powerfully addresses an important theme, namely, how much a personal choice can impact others and even alter history.
Booklist


There's enough information…to turn the pages, but not much more. Touching on questions of race and class, McBride doesn't break new ground and doesn't go into much depth but tells a readable story that may appeal to book clubs who'd like to add their own analyses.
