"The Pure Gold Baby is a closely observed group portrait of female friends, a patient insight into the joys and pains of motherhood, and an image of how society has changed and how it has not." --Harper's
"It is a testament to the intensity and skill of Drabble's writing that part of this novel's suspense has to do with our waiting for definitions, diagnoses, and certainties that are never offered; and that part of our satisfaction lies in our acceptance that they cannot be...These are characteristic Drabble maneuvers: to take us all the way to death and madness and then back, to life defiant and friendship itself defying time by living fully within it." --The New York Review of Books"Insightful and wise, The Pure Gold Baby chronicles the deep challenges of parenting under any circumstances -- yet it also captures the almost unbearable vulnerability of being human." --Boston Globe
"The Pure Gold Baby is as deep as it is wide: resonant, recursive and contemplative." --The Kansas City Star
"The Pure Gold Baby is an unexpected gift from a great author. How do we treat the child who walks among us in a different way than most? In Margaret Drabble's hands the answer is with a depth of empathy few master." --Alice Sebold, author of The Lovely Bones"Margaret Drabble has written a compelling portrait of a mother whose care for her disabled child unfolds against a world of shifting mores. This is a panoramic survey of the way social attitudes toward difference have shifted--of what has been gained and of what has been lost. It is above all a humbling portrait of time, a stern reminder that what we know to be true today may well be untrue tomorrow. It is written with acuity, wisdom, and grace." --Andrew Solomon, author of Far From the Tree"An intimate look at a small family and its circle, told with wit, sensitivity, and deft knowledge of the household details of its setting...[Drabble] is a masterly storyteller and a preeminent chronicler of modern life...Readers who yearn for well-crafted fiction full of thoughtful ideas and observations should welcome this heartily." --Library Journal (starred review)"[A] deeply intellectual, though never pretentious consideration of our intricate connections and obligations to others. Thoughtful and provocative, written with the author's customary intelligence and quiet passion." --Kirkus"Dame of the British Empire Drabble is in peak form in this marvelously dexterous, tartly funny, and commanding novel of moral failings and women's quandaries, brilliantly infusing penetrating social critique with stinging irony as she considers what life makes of us and what we make of life... Given Drabble's standing as one of the giants of world literature, elevated attention will be paid to her first novel since The Sea Lady (2007)." --Booklist (starred review)"Sobre este título" puede pertenecer a otra edición de este libro.
