............................Books..............................It's A Crime
IT’S A CRIME is so lilting and witty that the sorrow at its heart creeps in on stocking feet. Jacqueline Carey is an original, and this is her unforgettable take on our ethically challenged times. -Deirdre McNamer The Crossley Baby
"This is a funny, brilliant, generous book by a writer with a perfect ear and a fierce imagination. It reminds you of why you ever started reading fiction in the first place. It was in hopes of finding a book that seizes your attention as this one does." -Garrison Keillor The Other Family
"THE OTHER FAMILY is weirdly reminiscent of THE GREAT GATSBY and does to the sixties what Gatsby did to the twenties. It's as elegant, less sentimental, more wicked." -Padgett Powell "Tending to the life masked by the life, the conversation beneath the conversation, is about as fashionable as fondue pots these days, and the joy in discovering a writer who can do this well is as rare and wonderful as finding a doctor who still makes house calls." -The New York Times Good Gossip
"Fresh, odd, perpetually surprising, and entirely delicious. Pure distilled N.Y.C., dry and sparkling." -Michael Frayn "There are no dull sentences in this book." -The New York Times Wedding Pictures
A collection of illustrated dialogues. "Wedding Pictures is both slyly observed and very, very funny. As usual, Ms. Carey manages to be both sharply satiric and affectionate towards her characters. Kathy Osborn's beautiful, detailed illustrations suit the story perfectly." -Roz Chast |
