Industry Reviews
"Swiftly sketching in years of family history in a few, carefully wrought paragraphs, Mr. Yates writes of these characters with sympathy so clear-hearted that it often feels like nostalgia for his own youth, and yet he is also thoroughly uncompromising in revealing their capacity for self-delusion, their bewilderment in the face of failure....COLD SPRING HARBOR deftly engages the reader's emotions, detailing each character's desires and fears with casual, old-fashioned authority, while quietly setting in motion the events that will bind them together in an ever-tightening net of disappointment."
