"A biting, contemporary take on Romeo and
Juliet and an acidic commentary on Washington political culture."
-Publishers Weekly |
|
|
"Marge Piercy holds up a mirror to modern life...Three Women is a passionately told story, an uninhibited and combustible mix of politics, protest and pain, a searing treatise on the tenuous situation of women, and if you look deeper...it's all that and more."
-Chicago Tribune |
| |
|
|
|
 |
"Lively, sexy, richly descriptive...Piercy's heroine's are bold, courageous and entertaining."
-Booklist
"Five hundred pages of gripping, page-turning, blood-curdling, awe-inspiring prose...her perceptions of [the French Revolution's] events ring so true it's almost as if she had actually been there."
-Bay Guardian
|
|
"Storm Tide is a great mystery, an intelligent political thriller, and an emotional hurricane. It's also erotic to the core, and written to read as fast as a fierce nor'easter blowing hard across turbulent water."
-John Nichols |

"Marge Piercy can seat 15 strangers around
a Thanksgiving table, and by the time dessert is served you'll know
all of them. Her paragraph on Leila's interview techniques for talking
with battered women is a miniature master class. These characters
are so authentic, you'll want to shake them: 'Leave that creep!'
'Get a shrink!' "Work at Legal Seafood!' "
-- Patricia Volk, NYT Book Review |
|
"Marge Piercy is one of our boldest and most prolific writers...Like Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale, He, She and It finds disturbing trends in contemporary culture."
-Los Angeles Times
"An allegorical tour de force"
-San Francisco Chronicle |
| |
|
|
|
|
"A brilliant and demanding novel...as deeply penetrating as a laser beam."
-Cosmopolitan |
|
"Piercy's war takes on universality
of a sort that Hemingway's war, or Mailer's war, could never have
achieved...she has mastered a huge subject, dismantled a centuries-old
sex barrier and widened our perceptions of both war and literature.
All this in a good beach book makes GONE TO SOLDIERS a victory by
any standards."
-- NEWSWEEK |

'”A compelling tale, a bright, clear piece
of fiction. "
--The Washington Post |
 |
"Real people inhabit its pages and real suspense
carries the story along...VIDA of course means life and she personifies
it...I found the book fascinating."
—The Chicago Tribune |
| |
|
|
|
 |
"No writer I know has so thoroughly explored
the changing, despairing, frightening, and complicated world of
a young college girl becoming a woman.”
--The Washington Post |
 |
“An ambitious, unusual novel about the possibilities
for moral courage in contemporary society.”
—The Philadelphia Inquirer |
| |
|
|
|
|
"One of the more unusual love triangles
that has appeared in recent fiction...It is not just that these
three are believable and oddly appealing - it is also that one willingly
identifies with, even admires, Leslie, however alien she may be
to the reader's own sense of identity...Piercy has written a novel
as ambiguous and fascinating as life itself."
--Christopher Lehmann-Haupt, The New York Times |
|
"Beautiful, inspiring, realistic, essential."
