“McDermott is rightly celebrated for her granular, nuanced portraits of mid-20th-century life, with a particular focus on Irish Americans.”

The New York Times Book Review · Jennifer Egan · Rave
“Crystalline, searching … McDermott spins gold from sensuous details … She probes the intricacies of parenting, its tender pleasures and primal instincts … Beautifully conceived and executed.”

The Washington Post · Hamilton Cain · Rave
“It’s futile to predict where a great writer’s boundless imagination will take us and, as Absolution affirms, McDermott is a great writer … Deft”

NPR · Maureen Corrigan · Rave
