Anmeldelser
«A moving reflection on being defined by a youthful relationship with a world-hating genius»
Ruth Padel, Mail on Sunday
«Many people will buy (or boycott) At Home in the World because of the Salinger material, but its real theme is that of dozens of contemporary memoirs with no famous characters: the revelation, which for some reason still packs a wallop, that lots of happy families are secretly miserable and lots of people who pass for normal are bonkers»
Katha Pollitt, New York Times Book Review
«A wry, painful, engaging book»
Frank McCourt
«At Home in the World is not a sleazy tell-all memoir about the author's affair with a famous (and famously reclusive) man. It's actually an earnest autobiography that, in the course of tracing the author's coming of age, delineates her first serious love affair.[with] maturity and emotional candour»
