"Holtz captures the essence of family, tracing the way in which, through the generations, strengths, weaknesses, habits, and particular needs are passed down. This is a deeply considered and honest work of universal import."-- Kirkus, "It is common today for reviewers to say that a book is beautifully written. This one truly is. Great care has gone into the shaping of every sentence, every paragraph, every chapter, with a concern for preserving the accents of the author's speaking voice. It is a book for reading aloud, for sharing with a loved one: partner, companion, friend, another family member, as one might share one's own family recollections. . . . It will become a classic in the rich literature of the memoir."- Robert A. Erickson, "It is common today for reviewers to say that a book is beautifully written. This one truly is.
