Critical Praise

"Arlington Park is a strikingly good novel, funny, poignant, savage, tender, and appalling. What I like most is the purity of the writing, the beautiful aptness of the language to thought and theme, and the play of wit. The satire has force because is is written from within, and all the characters, however absurd, are trapped, struggling, and deeply human."

——Helen Dunmore, author of The Siege and Talking to the Dead, winner of the Orange Prize
