Reviews

"... the story of a warm friendship ... put together with expert skill, urbanity, and insight."--Victor Brombert, The New York Times Book Review "The book's great gift is the vision it offers of social life [and] the chance it provides to read these delightful letters and to hear these engaging, long-silent voices."--Francine Prose, Newsday
