The New York Times called it "...the wittiest, angriest, most exacting and most desolate work of fiction we've yet had about life in New York and London after the World Trade Center fell. On a micro level, it's about a couple and their young son living in Lower Manhattan when the planes hit, and about the event's rippling emotional aftermath in their lives. On a macro level, it's about nearly everything: family, politics, identity. I devoured it in three thirsty gulps, gulps that satisfied a craving I didn't know I had. ...[O'Neill] seems incapable of composing a boring sentence or thinking an uninteresting thought..." AND Publishers Weekly said: "...O'Neill (This Is the Life) offers an outsider's view of New York bursting with wisdom, authenticity and a sobering jolt of realism." Finally, Kirkus concluded: "This love story about a friendship, a place and a marriage is not easy to read, but it's even harder to stop thinking about." | |
