Critical Praise

“Can this wise, funny, quirky, poignant novel really be Dale M. Kushner’s debut? She got everything just right—characters you will never forget and a palpable yearning for love that you will feel in your gut. Bravo!”

—Ann Hood, author of THE KNITTING CIRCLE and THE RED THREAD

 

“In THE CONDITIONS OF LOVE Dale M. Kushner portrays with wonderful empathy a young girl’s journey towards adulthood. Kushner has an amazing sense of character and not only her heroine, the fearless Eunice, but everyone that Eunice encounters comes vividly to life as she struggles first to accommodate herself to her mother’s tumultuous feelings and then to make her own way in the world. An immaculately written, enthralling, and passionate debut.”

—Margot Livesey, author of THE FLIGHT OF GEMMA HARDY and EVA MOVES THE FURNITURE
