From the Publisher
"There is humor in the characters' irreverence and passion in their reverence....Flamboyant is a brilliant commentator on our times."-Mary Kay Zuravleff, Washington Post Book World
"[A] big-hearted novel....Among the pleasures of reading Flamboyant are Swados' straightforward style, her perfectly-pitched rendering of the two voices, her humor and the urban realism of her prose." --Jewish Week
"Readers will applaud the compassion with which Swados, without demeaning any of her characters, negotiates a seemingly insoluble situation." --Library Journal
"Swados' captivated readers will be moved to both laughter and tears." --Booklist
