Reviews
- Wright has accomplished an amazing feat by allowing his characters to emerge, fully formed and true, without authorial intrusion into their intimate psychological world, revitalizing the epistolary form in the process. - Publishers Weekly
- [Wright] has certainly successfully entered the mind of Clara Callan. By the end of the book, she seems beyond mere authorial creation— she seems a living, breathing human being. - The Globe and Mail
- Superb . . . A wrenching chronicle of time passing and opportunity lost. - Kirkus Reviews
- He so successfully captures the female voice, that the long correspondences and journal entries read like an addictive crime novel. - Times Literary Supplement (UK)
- Mr. Wright writes with the apparent ease of breathing, and he is both touching and very, very funny. - New York Times
