RaveThe Washington Post\"...[a] breathtaking novel ... It takes great skill to maintain the voice of such a young child believably for the length of an entire novel...For the most part, Navin manages to make Zach’s voice heartbreakingly believable ... The plot becomes perhaps too facile as loose ends are tied up and these parents who have lost their son in the most horrible way begin to move forward too quickly ... But ultimately, Only Child triumphs.\
