Reviews
"A literary romp...merges fiction and fact in a campy style...Alma Porch is a well-drawn and endearing guide." — Washington Post
"Hilarious, wry, disturbing, and optimistic." — Boston Globe
"A witty, sophisticated novel." — Library Journal
"Reminiscent of Shirley Jackson….This darkly comic tale will appeal to those who love novels of eccentricity and the many foibles of human nature." — MostlyFiction Book Reviews
"Not just a delicious caper. . . .[It glows] in the mind because . . . informed by Jolley’s understanding of our common loneliness and her sympathy with the myriad, ingenious connections we try to make to alleviate it." — Roberta Silman, The Arts Fuse
"The work of Elizabeth Jolley is a reminder of the glorious contradictions of literature: it's a specific chronicle and a universal exploration, endlessly experimental and easy to read, heartbreaking and hilarious and wise and naive. It's like life, and reading Jolley makes one feel alive." — Daniel Handler (Lemony Snicket)
"Hilarious and bawdy." — Robert Coover
"Delicious . . . a novel of pungent charm." — Angela Carter
