Booklist (starred review)

Weiner tugs every heartstring with this vivid tale . . . [a] heartwrenching multigenerational tale of love, loss, and family . . . partly inspired by <i>Little Women</i>

Publishers Weekly (starred review)

Se alle

A skillfully rendered and emotionally rich family saga, an unapologetic feminist novel . . . Weiner shows that big, expansive social novels are not only still possible in our fragmented society but perhaps necessary

Shelf Awareness

Simply unputdownable

Good Housekeeping

A poignant reminder of both the strides women have made since the 1950s and the barriers that still hold them back. An ambitious look at how women's roles have changed-and stayed the same-over the last 70 years

Kirkus Reviews

<i>Mrs. Everything</i> is Weiner's best book yet. With a masterful plot, we follow the sisters as their lives change, along with the world they live in. You won't want this book to end as you laugh, cry, and root for these characters as if they were a part of your own family

Red Magazine

I'm a long-time fan of Jennifer Weiner, so what a delight to dive back into her words. In this epic story starting in the 1950s and spanning 50 years, we follow sisters Jo and Bethie Kaufman as they manoeuvre their way through marriage, their sexuality, family and grief

Prima

Sunday Mirror

<i>Mrs Everything</i> is an evocative, ambitious story of family, identity, sexuality, happiness, loss and liberation

CultureFly

Weiner does an amazing job playing with perspective in this novel . . . <i>Mrs. Everything</i> reminded me how important it is to bear witness to one another's pain so that we can truly celebrate each other's joy
