MEDIA REVIEWS
I devoured the book at a sitting and then went back for a second dip at onceIf you're coming to Lurie for the first time,you must begin with the Pulitzer prize-winning Foreign AffairsLurie...has quietly but surely established herself as one of this country's most able and witty novelistsPerhaps more shocking than she knows - shocking like Jane Austen,not GenetIn Foreign Affairs no detail lacks its special piquancy. And none can be savored without leaving you with a mouthful of barbed hooks
