[She] has created a family so likable and attractive, a community so vibrant and engaging, that we want to crawl into the pages and know them." -- NPR Books "Julia Quinn is truly our contemporary Jane Austen." -- Jill Barnett "Quinn is a consummate storyteller. Her prose is spry and assured, and she excels at creating indelible characters." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review)
