- Patricia Hampl, author of A Romantic Education
"Riveting,
Levine recreates a family tragedy with the surety of stroke of a Goya,
a Rembrandt . . . I couldn't put this book down."
- Julia Markus, author of Dared and Done, and Across
an Untried Sea.
"A poignant
tale."
- The Boston Globe
"Levine
has succeeded admirably in writing a first novel that respects readers'
intelligence, tugs their heartstrings and, most importantly, through the
sorrows of others, touches their souls."
- Chris Bergeron, The Daily News
"In
Paterson is written with a poet's ear for rhythm, restraint, and understatement
and an artist's eye for significant detail. With a nod towards her predecessors'
use of Paterson both as a site and subject, Levine succeeds in creating
something well-constructed, original, and wholly her own."
- Deborah Z. Porter, Harvard Review
