Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

A brilliant novel revealing how Isabel Gold copes first with her mother's suicide, then with her own lesbian identity.

Review:

"Hers is an intimate story, suffused with irony, humor and a close, sensuous attention to physical detail. Isabel's world opens up generously, providing the reader with the intimate truths and emotional complexity that make this impressive debut unforgettable." Publishers Weekly

Review:

"An unpretentious, muddle-free first novel." New York Times Book Review

Review:

"[a] memorable debut novel...barbed with bitter humor." The New Yorker

Review:

"D'Erasmo's prose possesses both the elan of a child playing make-believe and the insights gleaned from a truly literary writer's openness to subtle gradations of emotion and change." Booklist

Review:

"I have read a whole lot of contemporary first novels and there's not one I would have characterized as flawless until I read Tea." Newsday

Review:

"An intermittently moving debut that tries too hard to be literary. Nonetheless, DErasmo is a writer to watch." Kirkus Reviews
