"An unusually vivid and striking account of the effects of men's
affairs on their wives and daughters--an immediate, personal story
of depth and power, as gripping as a good novel."
--Publishers Weekly, starred review
"Pearlman has a sharp eye for detail and is adept at expanding her
discussion of infidelity's pain and relationship--mutating
qualities, pinpointing its effects on children, adult
acquaintances, and even (in the case of her parents and
grandparents) one's history."
--Kirkus Reviews
"Outstanding... once you start reading you cannot stop."
--The Times
"A vivid, thoughtful memoir of a woman's life, her sexuality, and
her growing social, psychic and sexual consciousness...Pearlman
tells her story with a lovely control and a deep sense of
meditative longing."
--Elle
