"The novel re-creates the texture of life in an American small town and brings back our own lost memories of the nineteen-thirties and -forties.

It holds readers in a delicately tautening suspense as it gradually reveals the unimaginable truth about its lovely-and elusive-heroine. And about all, it gives us Lady."
