"An astounding achievement."
Megha Majumdar
"As smart and unsentimental as its two clashing protagonists, At Last charts a rich, fascinating landscape that has been largely ignored by contemporary fiction."
Jennifer Egan
"Here's the magic of Marisa Silver's books: they capture, beautifully, not only entire lives but the complex histories that pulse through our country. At Last is, quite simply, her best book yet."
Paul Yoon
"There's great pleasure in following the breadth of these women's lives, and the fascinating extended family they come to share. . . . Marisa Silver has built a fictional world I was happy to live inside."
Ann Napolitano
"Whole lives course down the decades in [At Last], and every minute of them is conveyed with Silver's signature combination of toughness and grace."
Laird Hunt
