Books by Cynthia Propper Seton

"Mrs. Seton's book has an unflinching with and seriousness and a sustained and subtle intelligence. And it has an idea-half-sisterhood-which may indeed be emblematic of the present state of relations among many women, whether blood sisters or not." -Lucy Rosenthal, Ms.

"Shines with elusive insights about persons we recognize at once as acquaintances and friends, caught briefly in events that are part of their upper-class life, part of their inevitable sexual prisons, part of their middle age. To be able to say consistently interesting things about these embroilments-class, sex, age-is a triumph for a novelist. Cynthia Propper Seton has pulled off just such a triumph." -Doris Grumbach, Los Angeles Times

"Cynthia Propper Seton's newest novel is a gem of a comedy. With delectable wit and glittering style, Seton examines the leisured urban upper-middle class, its guilts and self-deceptions, its integrity, poignant strivings, and resignation. . . .The author is a veritable gourmet chef of the language, whipping up verbal delights on every page." -Lynne Sharon Schwartz, Saturday Review
