All This Heavenly Glory (30 page)

“This is Crane’s magic, telling stories so rich with detail and so conversational in tone that it seems like you’re reading
an e-mail from a close friend who doesn’t want to leave out anything.… By the end of the book, you know Charlotte Anne. You’ve
known her all her life, and you are better for it. And as for Crane, you can only hope she keeps sending those e-mails, including
everything.”

—Hannah Sampson,
Miami Herald

“Quirky, hypnotic.…Elizabeth Crane has plenty that’s smart, and also quite touching, to say about being young and single and
aimless, and Charlotte’s intense, ongoing interior dialogues make a fine vehicle for it.”

—Carole Golberg, Hartford Couranl
