" This is not a book for the faint of heart. It takes an affair which a female teacher is having with a 16-year-old student and sets it against the backdrop of the Monica Lewinsky scandal, which IMO was absolutely ingenious since writing it this way... "

“She looked into Kirsten's eyes and wondered how it is that a soldier fights and a savior suffers, but a woman, in lying down, rules everything.”
Rebecca Coleman, The Kingdom of Childhood

“What is it about her? he wondered hopelessly. What did she offer him that he couldn't find elsewhere? Why did he persist in seeking her out, thinking about her, wanting her, when she was exactly wrong for him in nearly every way?”
