Product Description

Review
"Touches and dazzles and entertains.... An enchanting novel." "---"The New York Times
"Exquisite . . . exhilarating. . . . Balanced adroitly on the fine line between laughter and tears." --"Chicago Tribune
"The extraordinarily talented Lorrie Moore presents the lives of Sils and Berie and the atmosphere of the upstate town they live in with a subtle, moving, and often outright brilliance." "--Los Angeles Times
"This novel is like a hand-painted Russian Easter egg, a Chinese sleeve piece done in blind stitch; painstaking, breathtaking beauty in miniature. [Moore] creates a gorgeous, terrifying picture." --"Washington Post Book World
"This is more than a girls' coming-of-age story. . . . Ms. Moore was always able to make readers laugh out loud. This is the first of her works that can bring them to tears as well." --"The New York Times Book Review

5.0 out of 5 stars A poignant and exquisitely written novel., 15 Dec 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Who Will Run the Frog Hospital? (Paperback)
"Who Will Run the Frog Hospital" is a superb novel! It tells the poignant story of woman's life in a rich and poetic prose whilst being moving, humourous and nostalgic.

5.0 out of 5 stars Read again and again, 23 Aug 2006
By E. Eason (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Who Will Run the Frog Hospital? (Paperback)
I haven't read this book for a few years, but it's always remained one of my favourites. brilliantly written, sad and funny, I would recommend this to anyone - but mainly women probably! It's a great book to keep and go back to after a year or two - the story is just as good the second time round, as it's the lovely and vivid style of writing, rather than any major twists or suprises, that make this such a good book. I love it. In fact, after writing this, I might read it again!

5.0 out of 5 stars Super, 8 Nov 2007
This review is from: Who Will Run the Frog Hospital? (Paperback)
I read this book a year or two ago after hearing a paper on lorrie moore at a conference. she is a wonderful writer who deals so deftly with female adolescence in 'who will run the frog hospital'. i have since picked up other texts by moore - inc. anagrams, self-help, and birds of america - which i am very much looking forward to reading. recommended.
