Effie is by no means your average bigamist: she finds affirmation (not to mention duplicity) in decidedly unusual people and places. Though the humorless may occasionally find Effie's hijinks--and tai chi-induced highs--irritating, Trott has created a zesty and sporting protagonist. What's more, there are two intriguing (in both senses) minor characters, a literary agent, and a hugely successful ghostwriter, who give new meaning to the phrase the lies that bind. In a typically memorable one-liner, the latter declares, "I should write a book: Writers I have Known--And Been." --Barbara Brandeis
"Susan Trott is one of my favorite writers. And what a novel twist on the classic human dilemma: love, loss, love."
--Anne Lamott, author of Crooked Little Heart
"Susan Trott writes with sweet ebullience and gentle humor. Crane Spreads Wings is her best novel so far: mischievous, fresh, wise, and charming."
--Molly Giles, author of Creek Walk
"Susan Trott's novels are always a journey, or at least a trip, that connects her unique charm and light-hearted wisdom."
--Martin Cruz Smith, author of Rose
