    Nagel's research is assiduous, his prose fluid and compelling.

    Splendid...[an] admirably, often eloquently, written book.

    What a splendid, moving book!...No one who reads this chronicle of the remarkable Adams women will forget them, or look upon their time in quite the same way again.
       --David McCullough

    A sensitive evocation of the lives of the Adams women...Deeply informative and a pleasure to read.
