The Ten-Year Nap

What comes after chick-lit? Mum-lit, perhaps - but tales of hyper-active kids, moribund marriages and the career opportunities that got away will seldom match Wolitzer's wit, bite and schmaltz-free sympathy * Independent *
This one shouldn't be only for chicks. It's for everyone. It asks far-reaching questions about the place of women in society and within the family unit, but it asks also whether life has been fair to men * Daily Telegraph *
The latest novel from the excellent Meg Wolitzer presents four New York mothers emerging from a decade in babyland... a wonderful study of muddy equivocation, a hilarious yet compassionate examination of the primordial slime and the modern woman * Guardian *
Terrific... Wolitzer's novels have always been exemplars of the motto that the personal is political... [Offers] many pleasing, surprising contrasts * The Times *
It made me think about a woman's eternal problem of balancing the love she has for her children with what to do when they finally leave home. A serious, meaty read * Essentials *
Her books have this peculiar knack of being both very funny and uncomfortable, and her dissection of marital relationships is second to none * Woman & Home *
Wolitzer is as precise and rigorous an observer of social status as Tom Wolfe; she is as incisive and pitiless and clear-eyed a chronicler of female-male tandems as Philip Roth or John Updike. * Chicago Tribune *
Wolitzer perfectly captures her women's resolve in the face of a dizzying array of conflicting loyalties. * The Washington Post *
Concerned mothers are talking about a new novel, The Ten Year Nap by Meg Wolitzer * Evening Standard *
Her best novel to date... Writing with candour and humour, Wolitzer captures the neuroses of a rarefied mommy elite. * Independent *
