Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Writing "gracefully and sensitively," O'Hehir tells the story of 19-year-old Grace Dowell, who comes from a rich and eccentric family, and balks at marrying her strange, unstable cousin Steve. PW called this "a book to enjoy for its clear and well-paced prose, and its wonderful small vignettes."

From Library Journal
Grace Dowell, 19, is planning to marry her cousin Steve, when she learns of the suicide of another cousin. This news, coupled with the reappearance of a long-forgotten childhood acquaintance, pushes Grace away from her tiny northern California hometown and toward an overdue examination of her numerous relationships. The novel, set in 1950, makes its various points about love and loyalty in such a subtle fashion that some elements of the story remain unclear. What emotional impact the book makes comes well after reading it. On the positive side, O'Hehir's skills as a poet account for her economical use of language, and she has a fine sense of the rhythms of everyday conversation. She is the author of I Wish This War Were Over . Lonnie Beene, West Texas State Univ. Lib., Canyon

豆青色的封面，米白的书脊，银色书名。装帧简洁雅致，安宁，让心沉寂下来。翻开书页，动荡不安，一群飞正常人类的组合：主人公用三种方式综合自杀的表姐；83岁住在汽车里的表姑婆，她时不时从商店里偷点随便什么东西，比如一罐汽油...... 书里有些句子的表述方式很有意思，比如：Sybil opened the door and filed herself into the hot plush and quilt arrangement like a letter sliding into its enve
