"In this collection of syndicated columns, based in the New York Times and called 'Life in the 30s,' Quindlen gives ample evidence of why her reflections about herself, the progress of her life and feelings, resonate in a large readership,'' observed PW. "There is universal appeal in her experiences of the contemporary world, which she covers with elan and insight.'' (Nov.)

Library Journal

From "I Am a Catholic'' to "I Don't Like That Nightgown,'' this collection of Quindlen's "Life in the 30s'' columns from the New York Times is a very personal book. More than 60 columns offer a "thirty-somethingesque'' view of life and portray Quindlen in her various roles. If readers occasionally flinch at the private subject matter, they must also applaud Quindlen's writing style and journalistic grace. (On Nautilus equipment: "it . . . bears such a remarkable resemblance to a delivery room apparatus that every time I get into it I think someone is going to yell "push!' and I will have another baby.'') Quindlen is expecting her third child this year, and, as she plans to take a break from writing, this collection is all the more important.
