Review
A large part of Thaxter's appeal is that she was a writer of place-a place that few had ever seen much less read about. -- Quincy Whitney, The Boston Sunday Globe , Nov. 30,1997
A remarkable woman's career, from intimate personal letters to her acclaimed Among the Isles of Shoals . The evocative directness of Thaxter's prose makes her work seem fresh more than 100 years after it was written. -- Kevin Gardner, NH Public Radio , November 1997
One of the best bits of writings in Celia Thaxter Selected Writings is A Memorable Murder -fast paced and action packed. It is a riveting retelling of an actual double murder in sort of In Cold Blood (Truman Capote) fashion. What Older has done is nothing short of making a literary tribute and resurrection. -- Bryan Rourke, The Keene Sentinel , Nov 25, 1997
