Praise for this book
"In the Springtime of the Year... speaks of home-truths, of rituals, of long-established ways of life and of a sense of sharing...of a woman's progress through stages of grief. It is less a novel than a portrait of an emotion, and as this it is poignant and convincing."--The New York Times
