Review Quotes:
Advance praise for All the Time in the World
No one understands the joys and struggles of smart, sensitive kids like longtime Slate advice columnist Michelle Herman. Her first novel for young people is a gift to those children and to the adults who love them: an ode to friendship, loyalty, and New York City in the guise of a time-travel story so ingenious I never stopped being surprised. What a gem! -Dan Kois, author of How to Be A Family
Praise for Michelle Herman
Fine writing and the sure, gifted voice of the storyteller prevail. -Amy Bloom, author of I'll Be Right Here
Sensible, subtle, [and] loving. -Lore Segal, author of Tell Me A Mitzi
