"Ihre Geschichten wechseln virtuos die Tonarten, sind anmutig, auch grausam, poetisch und immer überraschend. ... Geschichten, heißt es, vervielfältigen das Leben, und für diese hier gilt das in besonderer Weise." Alexander von Bormann, Der Tagesspiegel, 20.10.96

"Ein Erzählband über das Glück. Und was das Erstaunliche ist: Sie bespricht nicht das flüchtige Glück des Augenblicks noch das verlorene der Vergangenheit, noch das uneingelöste der Zukunft. Margriet de Moor verzichtet auf alle gängigen, einträglichen Glücksformeln, die darin übereinkommen, daß jedes echte Glück unwirklich und unfaßbar bleibt. Tatsächlich finden sich in allen fünfzehn Kurzgeschichten unverschämt viele glückliche Menschen. Der Effekt ist betörend und auch ein bißchen erschreckend: Die Leser meinen diesen merkwürdigen Stoff, aus dem das Glück wohl ähnlich beiläufig wie Weihnachtsplätzchen geformt ist, wirklich kosten, schmecken, auf der Zunge zergehen lassen zu können." Mirjam Schaub, Die Zeit, 06.12.96

"Stücke von seltsamer Schönheit. ... ein grossartiges Abbild der Brüchigkeit dessen, was wir Liebe nennen. ... Dass es Margriet de Moor gelingt, das groteske Untergangsszenario des Glücks mit minimalen Strichen und Tupfern auf die Leinwand zu werden, belegt ihren hohen Kunstverstand." Pia Reinacher, Tages-Anzeiger, 17.08.96

&ldquo;A tale of toxic friendship at its most riveting.&rdquo;&mdash;People&ldquo;An utterly taut construction, as unsettling as it is propulsive . . . McCarthy&rsquo;s debut, with the acumen of the best literary fiction and the suspense of a psychological thriller, is a marvel.&rdquo;&mdash;Kirkus Reviews&ldquo;Everyone Knows How Much I Love You&#160;is&#160;breathless and precise at once, utterly gripping, animated by the propulsive unfolding of hungers that can't be controlled or fully fathomed. It aches with insight and longing.&#160;It seduced me from the very first page with the pull of its own fierce gravity,&#160;like a darkly turning planet&mdash;its atmosphere swirling with mysterious, combustible desires; its truths merciless and bone-deep.&rdquo;&mdash;Leslie Jamison,&#160;New York Times&#160;bestselling author of&#160;Make It Scream, Make It Burn &ldquo;Everyone Knows How Much I Love You&#160;is masterly, mendacious, and a total thrill ride.&#160;I was hooked instantly,&#160;laughing alongside Rose, alternately cheering and chastising her entanglements and escalations. McCarthy is an edgy writer and the prose is all at once darkly comic, sexy, and razor-sharp&#160;in its psychological insights. Not since a certain Mr. Ripley have I been so consumed in another&rsquo;s covetous desires.&rdquo;&mdash;Justin Torres, bestselling author of&#160;We the Animals &ldquo;A suspenseful, sexy, and gorgeously written excavation of best-friend envy. I read it with horror. And recognition. And great delight.&rdquo;&mdash;Michelle Huneven, author of&#160;Blame&#160;and&#160;Off Course &ldquo;This novel gripped me from its first page.&#160;A New York story crackling with obsession; a dizzying, daring tale of lives shaken to their foundations by the tumultuous interplay of sex, death, and art,&#160;McCarthy&rsquo;s debut leaves an indelible mark on the reader&rsquo;s sense of the world. Unforgettable.&rdquo;&mdash;Evan James, author of&#160;Cheer Up, Mr. Widdicombe&ldquo;A wickedly smart, deeply readable novel about art, love, and friendship.&rdquo;&mdash;Caroline Leavitt,&#160;New York Times&#160;and&#160;USA Today&#160;bestselling author of&#160;Cruel Beautiful World &ldquo;A fascinating expos&eacute; of the twisted, porous lines that separate brilliance from insanity, self-awareness from misperception, and love from obsession.&#160;McCarthy meanders through the complexities of a lifelong friendship and&#160;lingers on brutally honest moments of female desire and longing, adding her voice to the glorious chorus of modern-day feminist authors.&rdquo;&mdash;Wendy Walker, nationally bestselling author of&#160;The Night Before &ldquo;Compulsively readable.&rdquo;&mdash;Marcy Dermansky, author of&#160;Very Nice &ldquo;Ever since I finished&#160;Everyone Knows How Much I Love You,&#160;I haven&rsquo;t stopped thinking about it: how the prose pops and fizzes;&#160;how the characters reside in my mind still like ants in a terrarium; how McCarthy masterfully articulates aspects of the female experience&#160;I&rsquo;ve always intuited but haven&rsquo;t seen in print.&#160;It&rsquo;s a stunning, evocative, unflinching debut, and I can&rsquo;t wait to read whatever she writes next.&rdquo;&mdash;Andrea Bartz, author of&#160;The Lost Night&#160;and&#160;The Herd

I love these books (and so do my sons!). Not only are they beautifully illustrated but the content is pitched just right for having rich conversations with young children about values like kindness and bravery. These books will be a great resource for teachers and parents alike, helping them equip their children with the vocabulary they'll need to understand and express their emotions better.
