"A wonderfully fluent blend of intelligence, tenderness, and
vitality. [The Doctor's Daughter] fearlessly explores the difficult
terrain of the family romance and the unromantic decisions we all
make as we try to make sense of our lives and our memories."
-Mary Gordon "The Doctor's Daughter marks Hilma Wolitzer's
much-anticipated return to the world of fiction. It is a beautiful
tale of coming apart and reconciliation."
-A. M. Homes "An exquisitely nuanced novel that brilliantly
examines one of the abiding truths of the human condition: the
quest for self never ceases. Hilma Wolitzer's new novel is just
cause for celebration, as it shows her at the peak of her
prodigious powers."
-Robert Olen Butler "Hilma Wolitzer's characters are as real as the
people next door. And, oh, the eye and ear at work here! The
Doctor's Daughter is a book I both admired and devoured."
-Elinor Lipman "To read Hilma Wolitzer is to laugh in a special way
and to allow yourself little intermissions of sheer satisfaction in
which you lay the open book facedown on your heart and snuggle with
the human race. The Doctor's Daughter is her masterpiece."
-Gail Godwin "This intensely readable book unfolds so gracefully
that we are hardly aware of the many layers of the journey on which
it takes us."
-Elizabeth Strout "Hilma Wolitzer's The Doctor's Daughter reminds
us what novels can do. She takes a simple, touching, human
situation and enlarges it into a heartbreaking and permanent story
of loss and renewal."
-Adam Gopnik "This is a lovely novel-wonderfully well written,
intelligent, perceptive, and rich."
-Elizabeth Berg
