| Other text | Of all contemporary writers, Simpson has the most honest, the most authentic voice… [Her] unfooled but kind eye is matched by her ear for the ebb and flow of everyday talk. But she does more than just record: every word rings true. Dear George shimmers with grace and savagery and wit |
