"I absolutely loved Lillian on Life. It was a delight. The style of it so fresh and clever and subversive and there’s something very brave about it, especially for a first novel." ——Kate Atkinson,紐約報暢銷冠軍《娥蘇拉的生生世世》(Life After Life)作者
“Lillian on Life is a quirky book with a very deep heart and soul. I found it full of life and full of wisdom.” ——Erica Jong,經典女性情欲小說《Fear of Dying》作者
“Dazzling…In short vignettes, Lillian looks back, drawing an impressionistic portrait of a bold life full of adventure—erotic and otherwise—in prose spiked with unflinching observations, riotous riffs and poignant reflections.” ——華盛頓郵報
“A wry and poignant look at middle age…. A mix of ‘live and let live’ and the dos and don’ts from her midcentury upbringing, the heroine of Lillian on Life slides off the page as real, complicated, and contradictory…. In Lillian, Lester has created a wry, self-conscious, introspective woman with a memorable voice to match. Like a portrait painted over and over, Lillian bears the evidence of many revisions. Her vulnerability is palpable in every story she relates. Each chapter acts like a signpost on Lillian’s journey to find peace with herself.” ——Bookpage
