"All Things Must Pass," was the title of Harrison's post-Beatles solo album in 1970. It could also be his epitaph...
Egan’s greatest achievement is the cast of characters she assembles, each of whom we come to know in painstaking, brutally honest and innovative detail, but whose actions and thoughts we can never quite predict. Egan presents her characters as is, indifferent to whether we like them, never purporting to explain them completely. We remain emotionally invested in characters who do despicable things...
