Reviews for It Will Come To Me
"Gordon's hilarious spin on the inanities of academic life...reassures us that the next generation of the campus novel is alive and kicking." -- The Washington Post
"What lingers is page after page of Gordon's pithy, insightful observations about baby boomer angst and the (impossible) pursuit of academic happiness." --Dallas Morning News
"...sharp and funny academic novel" - Boston Globe
"Deadly funny, It Will Come to Me is immensely enjoyable. More importantly, It Will Come to Me speaks to larger issues of power, the strains mental illness place on families, and despite everything, the possibility of redemption."
— PopMatters
"Ben, Ruth and Isaac could easily have turned out flat and stereotypical. But Gordon writes about them with enough grace and humor to break them out of their cliched archetypes and, with a few clever plot twists and a couple of eccentric minor characters, she creates a charming story of reunion." --St. Louis Post-Dispatch
