“Laurie Graham writes comic novels with perfect pitch. She makes something artful and poetic out of speech, as David Mamet and Elmore Leonard do. With her latest novel, The Future Homemakers of America she has pulled off a coup.”
—Nicolette Jones, The Independent
“My ‘Leave-the-phone-off-the-hook’ book of the year. Wonderful.”
—Val Hennessey, The Daily Mail
“Superlative. The writing sparkles from first to last. A rich, many-layered portrait of Middle America. Where others have heaped scorn on the American Dream or peddled dewy-eyed optimism, Graham simply tells it like it was – and tells it brilliantly.”
—David Robson, The Sunday Telegraph
