Recenzje

Praise for All Adults Here:

"A quaint Hudson Valley town, an endearing matriarch, a goat cheese farm Straub's modern saga of a complicated family web is a literary security blanket." Entertainment Weekly

You ll never want to say goodbye to the Strick family of All Adults Here, Emma Straub s charming fourth novel. O, The Oprah Magazine
 
To describe Emma Straub s novel All Adults Here without using the word charming is like trying to describe an accordion without using your hands. But winsome and big-hearted do fine to characterize Ms. Straub s loosely knit, multigenerational fourth novel Tight, flinty Astrid seems like close kin to Elizabeth Strout s Olive Kitteridge. The Wall Street Journal
  
"A master analyst of romantic relationships, Straub trains her eye on family dynamics and small-town life in this witty and wise tale. People Magazine
 
Delivers a Dose of Normal Life, Right When We Need It. . .  Straub cements her status as a master of the domestic ensemble drama. TIME

Emma Straub's warm-hearted fourth novel confirms her reign as a patron saint of delayed adolescence. NPR

Literary sunshine is a good way to think of Straub s work. Her writing and tone are consistently bright and straightforward; her approach to character is warm and generous . . . The main pleasures of All Adults Here ome from Straub s wry comic instincts (a pair of hyperaggressive twin toddlers are hilariously appalling) and her gimlet eye for cultural observation  . . . Her wit extends out from the individual characters into a larger commentary on the difficulties of becoming an adult, making this an especially rich addition to the author s body of work.   The New York Times

"A beach read with teeth. The New Republic

Undeniably pleasing . . . a kind of thinking-person's beach read that's maybe all the better for arriving in these strange, landlocked times." Entertainment Weekly

It s a credit to Straub s gifts of wit and observation that she s made such a loving book so alive. Reading All Adults Here, you feel like maybe your life isn t so small, that its minor joys and pitfalls are worthy of literature. If only Straub could be the one to document it. USA Today

Deliciously funny and infectiously warm It's an ideal read for anyone trapped at home with their family while self-isolating. Read it while hiding in your bedroom from the people who are driving you crazy, but who you'd go crazy without. The Philadelphia Inquirer
 
There's no drama like family drama as Emma Straub (Modern Lovers, Other People We Married) proves in this touching, humorous, and eye-opening new novel. Town and Country
  
Triumphant. The Daily Beast

An immensely charming and warmhearted book. It s a vacation for the soul. Vox

  A warm, smart novel that feels both very 'now,' but also timeless in its survey of a family trying to become one again. Salon

"Fresh and funny. . .  ripe with the kind of juicy gossip perfect for swapping with a favorite sibling via late-night, hushed phone calls. . . . The Washington Post

  There s refuge to be found in stories of everyday people going about their lives. . . . Emma Straub has become adept at finding amusement in the mundane, and her newest, All Adults Here, might just be her best yet. O, The Oprah Magazine

The queen of the summer novel. Entertainment Weekly
 
Straub s best book yet . . .excellent book-group fodder. The Washington Post

Emma Straub s writing is witty, informal and deceptively simple, drawing readers in as if they re having a conversation with a close friend.    BookPage

All Adults Here is a master class on the small-scale American drama. . . this warm, optimistic novel argues that one should keep trying, regardless. All Adults Here affirms the value of community and family, no matter the strife that may rise up within them. Vogue

The perfect book to read during quarantine if your family is driving you crazy . . . a layered love story that examines, and ultimately celebrates, the modern, multigenerational family dynamic. Parade
 
  This new novel from New York Times bestselling author of The Vacationers and Modern Lover is at its core about family in all its loving, messy glory It s a page-turner that will make you think about what binds families together and drives them apart. Good Morning America

"All Adults Here is a novel about how we try and fail at every age and yet somehow survive. It is brimming with kindness, forgiveness, humor and love and yet (magically) is also a page turner that held me captive until it was finished. This is Emma Straub's absolute best and the world will love it. I love it." Ann Patchett, New York Times bestselling author of Commonwealth

"A totally engaging and smart book about the absolutely marvelous messiness of what makes up family; a wonderful book." Elizabeth Strout, New York Times bestselling and Pulitzer Prize winning author of Olive Kitteridge and Olive, Again
