Recenzii
A rewarding family saga reminiscent of Anne Tyler's novels . . . Wonderfully witty
Hill handles the intimacy of family ties with care and tenderness . . . Readers who enjoyed Jonathan Franzen's Freedom will relate as Hill's characters similarly and systematically unravel from each other
An affecting tale about decent but flawed people
The Violet Hour succeeds in nearly every measure . . . the story of this family - at once alien and familiar, pitiable and impressive - is rendered with candor and economy
A bittersweet tale of breakup and forgiveness
An unusual retrospective of a family torn apart . . . A bleak and disturbing story but one that offers a glimmer of hope
An absorbing read . . . very good on the unspoken nuances of family life and the irrational irritations we often feel for those we love
Splices humorous set pieces with gently searing revelations . . . a sophisticated saga, offering easy pleasures with no easy truths
