"I couldn’t stop reading it, with the suspense of a novel, page after page; the stories build, a brilliant chronology — every day is a diary of detail in a marriage that starts at the very first touch between two people on a rooftop and moves to its dreadful conclusion....Gluck comes to mind more than once here, with the control, the ability to temporize decline and keep it alive and make it last through the pages...."
