Awards/获奖情况：Review
"Tedrowe explores the reconfigurations of a family and the strange alliances that can occur between young and old, love and work. And she writes brilliantly about money. Reading these absorbing pages, I couldn’t help longing for each of her richly imagined characters to get his or her heart’s desire. A deeply satisfying debut."---Margot Livesey, author of THE HOUSE ON FORTUNE STREET

“So fantastic. This is the kind of book you would imagine Virginia Woolf might write were she with us is the 21st century: relevant and contemporary, relentlessly funny, deeply insightful, and fearless in its exploration of people’s private lives.”---Patrick Somerville, author of The Cradle

“In her wonderfully cohesive debut novel, short-story writer Tedrowe graduates to elegant novelist. . . . A lovely and literate family drama that wins bonus points for its sincerity and open-hearted delivery.”---Kirkus Reviews
