"Markovits's writing makes the ordinary unforgettable." -- New
York Times
"Markovits's second title featuring the Essinger family will find
an audience with readers looking for a holiday story that's light
on the Christmas merrymaking and more focused on the complex
dynamics at work in relationships among adult siblings, their
spouses and children, and their aging parents." -- Library
Journal
"In tender, compassionate prose and a deftly compressed
time-scheme, Markovits glints through desire, ennui,
misunderstanding, and love, illuminating one family's life so that
it glows collectively like a human panorama." -- Jonathan Lethem on
A Weekend in New York
