"To me, it's a unicorn of a book--a so-called women's novel, written by a man, that takes its heroine very seriously...A serious book that finds a big, sprawling story in what seems like a small, narrow life."—Laura Lippman, author of The Lady in the Lake

"A proto-feminist classic."—Boris Kachka, Vulture

"Herman Wouk's most solid achievement...a major novel."—Saturday Review

"Definitely in the tradition of the great novel -- spacious, abundantly peopled, shrewd, observant, humane."—New York Herald Tribune

"Its locale is Central Park West, Hunger College, and West End Avenue; its characters almost all Jewish; its appeal universal."—Sidney Field, Sunday Mirror

"Very good reading indeed."—Maxwell Geismar, New York Times
