"Beautifully written and carefully observed . . . King is a wildly talented writer." -Chicago Tribune

"[King] brings this beautifully rendered novel to a dramatic denouement that is once surprising and realistic."-Los Angeles Times

"[A] beautifully written follow-up . . . an engaging and moving read." -Entertainment Weekly

"[A] domestic drama with the adrenalin-fueled beating heart of a thriller, offering readers the best of two traditionally very different worlds." -Elle

"A marriage of single parents is more often the stuff of sitcoms than of serious novels, but King uses it to great effect in this intense character study. . . . King renders Vida's seething withholding in a free, direct style that captures everything . . . She's also excellent on the children's reactions to each other as the householdscome together and then separate, dramatically and perhaps permanently." -Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"Spare but acutely observed . . . This fine book demonstrates how a short novel can illuminate difficult real-life issues with sensitivity and insight." - Seattle Post-Intelligencer

"This wise and moving novel is much like Sue Miller's fiction. . . . [The] narration alternates very effectively. . . . But the heart of the story is its lovely depiction of wounded people struggling to find solace and stability in each other." - Arizona Republic

"King has superbly crafted the psyche of these principal characters. . . . [She] has delved into the depths of two lonely souls and treated us to a wonderful experience." -Tampa Tribune

"From its powerful beginning, Lily King's The English Teacher soars. It is a book filled with surprises; a novel that takes unexpected turns. . . . King is a masterful storyteller. . . . An uplifting book with a message of hope." -Portland Press Herald

"King beautifully delineates the grieving children in all their confused steps toward recovery." -Kirkus Reviews

"Lily King writes equally movingly and beautifully about both the large, dramatic and the small, seemingly inconsequential acts that destroy and define family." -Lily Tuck, winner of the National Book Award for The News From Paraguay

"King delicately delves into the fragile bonds holding families together, even when logic favors their dissolution . . . [She] writes with subtle clarity, displaying an intuitive understanding of the vulnerable psyches of teenagers, and with pinpoint perception of her characters' inner lives." -Booklist
