It's a comic tragedy that begins in dotcom San Francisco and travels through the tattered romanticism of expatriate Budapest, the sparkling Dalmatian coast, ending in the brutalized landscape of inland Croatia. Booklist says that FitzGerald has "flawlessly and astutely mirrored the ennui and confusion of a generation." Library Journal calls the book "a thoughtful if uncomfortable depiction of the spiritual bankruptcy of Americans." The New York Times says it is "an old story, made fresh."
