“Beautiful, inspiring, realistic, essential.” —The Boston Phoenix

“[Small Changes] has a wonderful generosity of detail, tone and character; it has the range and inclusiveness of old-fashioned fiction yet its insights are radical. I have never seen so lucidly represented the differences between what women and men want out of sex, conversation, relationships of all kinds.” —Adrienne Rich

“Small Changes speaks to the totality of a woman’s experience and as such is unquestionably unique. . . . One must feel gratitude for the amity and emotional intensity of the intimate human concerns in this passionately life-oriented novel.” —The Washington Post

Praise for Marge Piercy

“Here is somebody with the guts to go into the deepest core of herself, her time, her history, and risk more than anybody else has so far, just out of a love for the truth and a need to tell it. It’s about time.” —Thomas Pynchon on Dance the Eagle to Sleep

“One of the most important writers of our time.” —Erica Jong

“Reading a book by Marge Piercy is like sitting around a warm inviting fire with old friends: You know you will be entertained, hopefully you will be amused, and if you dare to invest in yourself, you will certainly learn something.” —The Indianapolis Star
