Objects in Mirror are Closer Than They Appear: A Novel - Softcover

"With vibrancy and a steady barrage of linguistic bio, . . . Weber provides a blend of artistry and insight far beyond what we usually see in a first novel."--Andy Solomon, " The San Francisco Chronicle""Wonderfully complex characters, witty prose, ironic situations and tragic consequences . . . It's Weber's control of the language that holds this cleverly touching book together."--Jean Blish Siers, " Charlotte Observer""Engaging . . . Ms. Weber's nuanced renderings of childhood traumas, of families in crisis and of Harriet's grandmother are impressive."--Elizabeth Benedict, "The New York Times Book Review""An amazing first novel . . . wise, flippant, deep, witty--characteristics which are seldom found together. It is also a good story."--Madeleine L'Engle

Already excerpted in The New Yorker, Katherine Weber's witty first novel of attraction and deception, a tale with the sensibility of a Margaret Atwood, pulses with cultural references and word games that echo Nabokov.
