Critical Praise

"Dori Carter’s new novel, We Are Rich, is as compact, colorful and mysteriously artful as a Mondrian. In other words, it’s a small miracle."

—Bruce Wagner, author most recently of Memorial and The Chrysanthemum Palace

"Dori Carter writes with deceptive ease and a sly wit that cuts to the bone. Her insider’s view of the collision of comfortable and complacent Cadillac old money with Ferrari carelessness and ambition in the sheltered retreat of Rancho Esperanza reminds me of the pleasures of first reading John O’Hara and Fitzgerald on the same culture clash in another time not unlike our own."

—Frank Pierson, screenwriter for Dog Day Afternoon and Cool Hand Luke, and Artistic Director of American Film Institute

"As in her best-selling first novel, Dori Carter writes with the poise of a satirist who knows her subject all too well. Frighteningly, I found myself thinking I knew these people, so many of whom are making real headlines in our current boom gone bust. But that’s Carter’s magic --- writing with the authenticity of an insider but with the fresh, keen eye of an outsider. We Are Rich is a tapestry of overlapping stories that, quite literally, catch fire. I loved it."

—Roger Horchow, Tony Award-winning producers and author of The Art of Friendship and Elephants in Your Mailbox
