Doris Grumbach's Chamber Music has made a considerable impression on me. . . . It is a haunting story, all the more powerful because of the elegant economy of the writing. — Barbara Pym

It is as if Willa Cather had decided to tell the whole truth. It is Virginia Woolf without the evasive prettifying. . . . One of those rare novels written for adults who listen. — John Leonard (New York Times)

What a strange, haunting, stately book it is, and literally unputdownable, because Brumbach so gently tugs a reader through it with persuasions and limited promises and mysteries. — Penelope Mortimer
