Critical Praise

"A graceful, intelligent, and very funny chronicle of a large, extended family beneath one capacious roof."--- The New York Times Book Review"There's no averting eyes from Clark's story, which includes family intrigue, gossip, romance and, of course, more than a few gin and tonics."--- The Chicago Tribune"Delicious. . . . Gently but precisely satiric."--- New York Newsday"Like a jumbo-sized Shakespearean comedy. . . . Leisurely in its pace and lavish in its detail, with a humor that ranges from arch to zany."--- The Seattle Times
