Amazon.com Review
Barbara Wilson has received critical praise for her mystery novels--including the great Murder in the Collective--and her award-winning translations from Norwegian. If You Had a Family is her first non-genre novel, and it is wonderful. Warm, empathetic, and knowing, If You Had a Family details the childhood and adult life of an artist coming to terms with the loss of her mother, her emerging lesbianism, and her attempts to locate herself in the world of adult emotions and responsibilities. Wilson is a writer of enormous intelligence and compassion, both of which shine through in this novel.
