RaveNew York Times Book ReviewVery entertaining ... Sorell assembles an eccentric cast of side characters ... Real-life issues are dealt with here — infidelity, gentrification, regret, affordable housing, aging — but because of the bright prose and offbeat cast, I was never too worried. This world is funnier and friendlier than our own; it’s a place where drama is offset by absurd family dynamics and housing crises are avoided with madcap solutions. I was always happy to return to The Wise Women, safely amused by the witty dialogue and disasters, confident that things would work out in the end.
