Mrs. Setons book has an unflinching with and seriousness and a sustained and subtle intelligence. And it has an idea-half-sisterhood-which may indeed be emblematic of the present state of relations among many women, whether blood sisters or not. -Lucy Rosenthal, Ms. A flawless novel of manners, women and love. . . .Not only consistently entertaining but a valid and incisive picture of how married women of that in-between generation-in their forties now, too young to have known the high-kicking 20s, too old to be part of the 60s revolt-are coming to terms with the new feminism. In this fine second novel, Cynthia Propper Seton seems on her way to becoming an American Doris Lessing-that mistress of self-exploring fiction-only softer voiced, less heavy-handed. . .the two of them half-sisters, you might say. -Mary Ellin Barrett, Cosmopolitan
