"...a literary jewel set in 1917 New York with characters so clear you could pick them out of a crowd... Marchetta's book would make the perfect book club read!"

"Marchetta’s prose is elegant in its simplicity, its rhythm gently carrying the reader forward like the Hudson River that figures so prominently throughout the story."
