| "Reason to Read: Rose is fiercely independent and unapologetically flawed. Chamberlain, a noted poet and playwright, has written an engaging first novel
"—More Magazine "Like its heroine, this novel is thoroughly likable….Chamberlain's creation of a character real, rich, and sympathetic enough to merit our interest and, even, to earn our advocacy. And that is a success on a scale that any musical, or literary, prodigy might hope for.
"—Minneapolis Star-Tribune "In her first novel, poet and playwright Chamberlain tells the vibrant story of Rose McGregor, a talented composer navigating academia in the early days of feminism….Chamberlain makes a charming, quirky fugue of Rose’s pursuit of love, independence and success."—Publishers Weekly | |
