Praise forThe Whole World Over "In her second rich, subtle novel, Glass reveals how the past impinges on the present, and how small incidents of fate and chance determine the future . . . Glass brings the same assured narrative drive and engaging prose to this exploration of the quest for love and its tests-absence, doubt, infidelity, guilt and loss." Publishers Weekly(starred review) "The cultures of Manhattan and New Mexico, straight and gay relationships, parents and children, are sensitively explored in Glass's replete successor to her NBA-winning debut novel,Three Junes. . . Glass knows what she's doing. Readers who love quirky characters and a gentle wit that breathes affection even as it skewers human foolishness and frailty will follow her anywhere." Kirkus Reviews(starred review) "[A] winning second novel . . . Harks back to Trollope and Tolstoy. Like her predecessors, [Glass] finds inspiration in the vicissitudes of family strife . . . Watching Glass sort out a dozen intersecting story lines is never less than fascinating. In keeping with her nineteenth-century influences, she resolves all loose ends, treating everyone with remarkable evenhandedness in her bustling, congenial world." Elizabeth Judd,The Atlantic Monthly "How does one follow up a National Book Award? Glass (Three Junes) creates an array of full-bodied yet vulnerable characters whose intersecting lives converge on September 11 . . . Glass's long but always captivating tale is a quilt of many colors and motivations whose strongest threads are love of family and sense of self."

Glass has written a generous book about family expectations-but also about happiness." -The New York Times Book Review "Radiant . . . an intimate literary triptych of lives pulled together and torn apart." -Chicago Tribune "Enormously accomplished . . . rich, absorbing, and full of life." -The New Yorker "Three Junesalmost threatens to burst with all the life it contains. Glass's ability to illuminate and deepen the mysteries of her characters' lives is extraordinary." -Michael Cunningham, author ofThe Hours "A warm, wise debut . . .Three Junesmarks a blessed event for readers of literary fiction everywhere." -San Francisco Chronicle, Praise for "The Whole World Over" " In her second rich, subtle novel, Glass reveals how the past impinges on the present, and how small incidents of fate and chance determine the future . . .
