Reviews
"Brilliant, funny, astonishing." --The New York Times Book Review "Stunning . . . Simpson takes on--and reinvents--many of America's essential myths." --The New York Times "Mona Simpson writes with confidence, with a swagger. She is already a master." --Anne Tyler, USA Today "Anywhere But Here is a wonder: big, complex, masterfully written, it's an achievement that lands [Simpson] in the front ranks of our best novelists." --Newsweek "The two women in this book are American originals. Ann is a new Huck Finn, a tough, funny, resourceful love of a girl. Adele is like no one I've encountered, at once deplorable and admirable--and altogether believable." --Walker Percy
