Connie Schultz s The Daughters of Erietown is a quiet force of a novel. It crept up on me, much the same way that time creeps up on these characters. I was struck by how well Schultz portrays a full life childhood to old age and all the small moments that shape us, for better or for worse. Its ambitious scope will leave readers wanting to curl up with it until they ve finished. Mary Beth Keane, New York Times bestselling author of Ask Again, Yes
The kind of smart, authentic story that both men and women will find riveting. Don t miss it. The Washington Post
Effortless . . . Too often, novels feature the extravagant trials and tribulations of the wealthy while ignoring the working men and women who live paycheck to paycheck. Not Ms. Schultz. . . . [She] brings authenticity to her writing about working-class families. . . . The Daughters of Erietown could be the daughters of every town. And Ms. Schultz should be proud to be called its mother. Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
This is a big, deep, warm, and moving story of unforgettable women who make and shape their families. With the eye and ear of a Pulitzer Prize winning journalist and the insight and language of a born storyteller, Schultz immerses us in The Daughters of Erietown, from love to loss and back. Amy Bloom, New York Times bestselling author of White Houses
Connie Schultz has long been one of the great chroniclers of the American Dream, telling the true stories of everyday men and women with compassion, heart, wit, and wisdom. Her powerful debut novel contains all that, plus the essential magic that only fiction can provide. Schultz offers up a deep exploration of the inner lives of one family. Their hopes, desires, and heartaches blaze forth on every page. J. Courtney Sullivan, New York Times bestselling author of Saints for All Occasions
A sweeping, heartfelt tale . . . Schultz enlivens the narrative with sharp cultural commentary and precise period details. This story of family secrets rises above and is tougher than the rest. Publishers Weekly
While Schultz s compelling narrative and realistic characters will keep readers turning pages into the night, her eye and ear for real-life details set this novel apart from other domestic sagas. Part tragic love story, part powerful testament to shifting cultural norms and the evolution of the women s movement, The Daughters of Erietown is an impressive first novel with a big heart. BookPage
Like Jennifer Weiner s Mrs. Everything . . . the novel sharply illuminates evolving social mores and tucks in plenty of womanly wisdom. . . . A masterful debut novel. Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
