Pros Characters who spring to life, prose that caresses the eye
Cons None. This is about as perfect as they come.
Recommended it? Yes

I don't know how she does it, but Alice McDermott always manages to pierce my heart with the simplest of sentences. She is one of the most deceptive writers we've got tapping on a keyboard these days. By all appearances, her novels are mere wisps, feathery in weight and style. Open one to any page...

Professional Reviews

New York Times Book Review: "CHILD OF MY HEART is flatfooted and unconvincing, where [McDermott's] previous fictions were hypnotic; its narrator opaque and annoying, where earlier McDermott characters were engagingly sympathetic....[T]he mundane work of babysitting [is] laid out for the reader in stultifying detail; McDermott uses none of her previously honed skills as a social observer to make them remotely compelling or to shed light on Theresa's state of mind."
