Meg Wolitzer is the author of several acclaimed novels, most recently The Wife ('has you howling with recognition' Allison Pearson), The Position ('one of the best and most human books I've read all year' Erica Wagner) and The Ten-Year Nap ('wickedly, terrifically funny... a true delight' Independent). She is married with two sons and lives in New York City.
Highly entertaining and a serious page-turner. Wolitzer's humour and language create a compelling read * Aesthetica * There are lots of sharp insights on the generation gap, the pseudo-intimacy generated by the internet, and American high-school life; Wolitzer displays perfect comic timing in her awkward chats between jocular teachers and mortified teens * Guardian * A novel that tingles with playfulness and wicked observation * Independent * Her writing is effortlessly readable -- Lucy Scholes * Sunday Times * Delightful and heartbreaking -- David Baddiel * The Times *
