Review:
"Like Michael Cunningham's The Hours, which won the Pulitzer, Three Junes won its own prize (National Book Award) and deserves it-a highly accomplished and sensitive novel, all the more remarkable for being Julia Glass's first." (The Sunday Telegraph)
"Free of gimmickry, Three Junes brilliantly rescues, then refurbishes, the traditional plot-driven novel." (The New York Times)
"Three Junes almost threatens to burst with all the life it contains. Glass's ability-would be marvellous in any novelist. In a first-time novelist, it's extraordinary." (Michael Cunningham, author of The Hours.)
