A richly colorful novel –New York Times

In the words of the New Hampshire statute, now comes Theodora to file for divorce from Colin, who’d rather march for world peace than stay home with his pregnant wife. She and the baby take refuge with Boris, photographer of nudes, who in all innocence finds himself in love for the first time in his life. Daniel Ford’s debut novel is a fascinating cameo of university life in the 1960s–before Woodstock, before Vietnam, but not before student rebels.

It is impossible not to keep on watching them, simply because they are so human and so young and selfish and opinionated and anxious … The clear-sighted, unangry Mr. Ford will undoubtedly write another novel, which means we all have something to look forward to. –The New Yorker
