Family Matters

Every Visible Thing by Lisa Carey

Reviewed by Ron Charles
Washington Post Book World

"This year marks the 30th anniversary of a miracle that unpublished novelists remember with a mixture of encouragement and envy: In 1976, an unsolicited manuscript, plucked from the slush pile at Viking, became the runaway bestseller Ordinary People. It's impossible not to think of Judith Guest's novel (or Robert Redford's Academy Award-winning movie) when reading Lisa Carey's new Every Visible Thing." Read the entire Washington Post Book World review.
