Critical Praise

"Sigrid Nunez once again creates characters of such depth and situations of such vivid moral complexity that reading these pages is like living them. Only as I closed the book did I sadly realize that Georgette and Ann weren't my neighbors. But happily I can revisit them again, and again, in this beautiful and absorbing novel."

——Margot Livesey, author of Banishing Verona

"Thoughtful, soulful, and painfully honest, Sigrid Nunez brilliantly reimagines the late sixties and their liberating yet scathing idealism. The Last of Her Kind is an intimate, rich, eventful, perfectly balanced romance of two mismatched friends and their unsentimental educations."

——Stewart O'Nan, author of The Good Wife

"In The Last of Her Kind, Sigrid Nunez uncovers the sixties' dirtiest dirty little secret: class. This is an irresistible read for anyone who lived through the period, or who understands its importance for who we are and how we know ourselves as Americans."

——Mary Gordon, author of Pearl
