Praise for Barbara Delinsky
“Delinsky is an expert at portraying strong women characters.”
Booklist
an expert
“Delinsky is one of those writers who knows how to introduce characters to her readers in such a way that they become more like old friends than works of fiction.”

at
“Delinsky is an engaging writer who knows how to interweave several stories about complex relationships and keep her books interesting to the end. Her special talent for description gives the reader almost virtual references to the surroundings she creates.”
