These multiple levels of consciousness create a rich, busy texture!, Chicago TribuneAn immensely satisfying book...with all the breadth and much of the appeal of Adams' memorableSuperior Women., The New York Times Book ReviewWell told and moves surely and deftly....The lives of the five very different women and their cool, nonjudgemental mother become important to us., Chicago TribuneA sharp portrait of America in the 1980s....A consummate storyteller, Adams draws us from character to character and incident to incident with an effortlessness that belies the intricacy of her tale.

- v***v (2054)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseAlthough this book was not as described, with no picture of it in the listing, the seller communicated well and quickly gave me a full refund while letting me keep it. The minimal packaging left the book a bit vulnerable (typical for ThriftBooks), but it did arrive safely and timely. As usual, it’s hit or miss with this seller, but often times you can get great values, and their customer service is always very good. Many other sellers with millions of transactions don’t even communicate.
