"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 is a heart piercing evocation of a bittersweet alliance, with all its thorny ambiguities, between a charming woman and an adoring young boy. 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."
