From the PublisherPraise for The Widower's Tale
"A satisfyingly cleareyed and compassionate view of American entitlement and its fallout. . . The family is society's most inescapable institution, but in Glass's hands it's also the most shifting and vulnerable. And in The Widower's Tale she approaches the ties of kinship with the same joyfully disruptive spirit that animated her previous books."
—Maria Russo, The New York Times Book Review
"An enchanting story of familial bonds and late-life romance. Expect to be infatuated with Glass's protagonist, 70-year-old Percy Darling, he of generous soul, dry wit, and courtly manners."
—Oprah
"Glass effortlessly ping-pongs between three dramas to show how everyday love and lies can make—or completely destroy—a life.
