Hardwick's one of my favorite literary critics now that I've managed to read this. She is spot on, resists being generically or blandly glib, and is female-mind-oriented without being dismissive or exclusive about it. And sharp, so sharp, and a hell of a sentence-structurer to boot. The best kind of literary reviewer. (
