Reviews for Murmur of the Heart
I was more than a little taken aback by the smugness of these privileged sorts.
In all their messiness, here are love, sex, society, and family, met with cleansing laughter.
should be memorable for its keen ability to render the fumbling antics of early adolescent boyhood with an acute eye and a tender touch
