"O'Farrell's compelling arguments about the construction of somatic and social ideals through the use of the blush in literature makes Telling Complexions a work of interest to a wide range of disciplines."-The Virginia Quarterly
"O'Farrell is . . . a skilled close reader who is adept at amassing textual detail in support of her argument."-The Review of English Studies
"With a playful, supple mind and equally supple prose, she demonstrates persuasively that novelistic blushes indulge and explore cultural fantasies according to which character is legible, so that it is possible to glimpse, beneath the shifting layers of a complexly structured and artificial social world, some remnant of who someone 'naturally,' really is. The chapters on Jane Austen are especially rich, subtle, and suggestive."-South Central Review
