The Women in the Mirror

"Pat Carr is a virtuoso. She writes with consummate grace of childhood and old age, of Americans and Europeans, of the straight and the quirky—little shards, each accurate, vivid, evocative—making altogether a stunning mosaic of contemporary life."—John Leggett

"Carr uses a strobe light to capture woman in her infinite variety …intense and memorable."—Chicago Tribune

"A cohesiveness, full and illusive, is here, as strong and wicked as early Capote."—Library Journal
