Industry Reviews
"[A] curious mixture of the discreetly modernist novel--single-word title, no quotation marks for dialogue, multiple flashbacks, plenty of stream of consciousness...--and the entirely old-fashioned romance, where love is all, and the characters inhabit sentimental stereotypes as if there were no other form of life. You might think the modernist text was the hard part..., but in fact it reads fluently and persuasively, and it's the romance that causes the problems."
New York Review of Books - Michael Wood (12/18/1999)
"Susan Minot's novel EVENING is the best book about dying I've ever read."
Bookforum - Nick Hornby
