Late Bloomer - Softcover

"Hilarious. . . . Pritchard is a rambunctious, witty writer, devilishly attuned to details and pop culture." --Chicago Tribune

"Ravishing." -Vanity Fair

"Sharply written. . . . Offers cutting insight into the place of aging women in society, the definition of manliness and the dance of courtship itself." -The Washington Post

"Absolutely fresh. [Pritchard's] language snaps with newness, sharp detail and goofy humor. . . . Prudence True Parker is a magnificent character." -The Journal News

"A brilliant mix of romance and satire. . . . Pritchard's quicksilver ability to blend biting social/political commentary with a rueful analysis of relationships makes this lesson in true romance an absolutely sage-scented delight." -Publishers Weekly (starred)
