Press Reviews

• Paris Review

  A charming, airy, and disarmingly melancholy novel [that] makes of Bloomsbury a kind of snow globe-diminutive, self-contained, beautifully agitated-within which major and minor figures are given room to float past at their leisure

• NPR

  A wry, supremely intelligent literary gem about devotion - to writing, to other people, and between humans and their pets. Like The Friend, Mitz captures the heartrending downside of love and connection - loss. But it also reminds us, beautifully, of the "great solace and distraction" of literature

• Wall Street Journal

  In short, glistening sentences that refract the larger world, Ms. Nunez describes the appealingly eccentric, fiercely intelligent Woolfs during a darkening time

• Village Voice

  Mitz shimmers with an emotional truth missing from the most rigorous Bloomsbury histories

• Chicago Tribune

  At its very best the book takes on the edginess of Mrs. Dalloway
