"Swimming Home is unlike anything but itself . . . . Readers will have to resist the temptation to hurry up in order to find out what happens . . . Our reward is the enjoyable, if unsettling, experience of being pitched into the deep waters of Levy's wry, accomplished novel." - Francine Prose, The New York Times Book Review
"Elegant . . . subtle . . . uncanny . . . The seductive pleasure of Levy's prose stems from its layered brilliance . . . [
Swimming Home is] witty right up until it's unbearably sad." - Ron Charles,
The Washington Post "Here is an excellent story, told with the subtlety and menacing tension of a veteran playwright." - Sam Sacks,
The Wall Street Journal "Exquisite . . . Levy's sense of dramatic form, as she hastens us toward the grim finale, is unerring, and her precise, dispassionate prose effortlessly summons people and landscapes." -
The New Yorker "Ms. Levy is a stealthy storyteller, lulling us while busy scattering clues." - Susannah Meadows,
The New York Times "Wholly new, fresh and, yes, profound . . . [
Swimming Home] floats like a wasp, and stings like one too." - Tucker Shaw,
The Denver Post
