Editorial Reviews

Review

"Mahoney once again proves both resourceful and fearless . . . she worries that her sharp tongue and short temper make her an unfit pilgrim . . . but these the qualities that make this such a bracing and pleasurable book." -- The New York Times"The great twin pleasures here for readers are Mahoney's sharp vision and prose that matches it . . . . She sketches her fellow pilgrims and herself unsparingly, finds grace in unadvertised quarters, finds humor remarkably often." -- Los Angeles Times Book Review". . . . Not only enlightening but also very funny." -- Paul Theroux"Mahoney's eye for details and her descriptions of people are simply stunning." -- The Providence Journal"Candid, funny, thought-provoking, and affecting." -- Newsday"Mahoney has an unblinking eye . . . a writer's writer, she has a poet's gift for striking images." -- The Washington Post"Full of humor and high adventure.  Mahoney's eye for the profance, the worldly, and the foolish intrudes at every turn, often to great comic effect." -- The Christian Science Monitor"With each chapter, the reader is newly amazed at Mahoney's sure stride and stirring rhythm . . . and her willingness to reveal her own conflicts and heartache." -- Speakeasy
