Read What Writers Are Saying About Something Terrible Happened on Kenmore:
“Marci Stillerman has woven a tightly threaded plot. The story moves swiftly, the characters ring true. They have universal appeal, especially Maizy, with her longings and lack of self-esteem.”
—Anita Kornfeld, author of In a Bluebird’s Eye & Vintage
