Review
“Extraordinary . . . raises ordinary people and everyday occurrences to a new height . . . Hearts is a novel for our time.”
–The Washington Post Book World
“Splendid . . . flawless . . . Few readers will fail to be moved.”
–The New Republic
“There is something so gently comic in Wolitzer’s way of seeing things, and so vital in her way of recording them, that even the very familiar somehow seems fresh.”
–The New York Times
“Hearts breeds devotion to good writing and a hunger for more of the same. . . . A riveting, poignant story.”
–Detroit Free Press
“Wolitzer makes art of ordinary life. . . . Hearts is the kind of novel that almost reads itself.”
–The Boston Globe
