Critical Accliam

A Selection of the Literary Guild and Doubleday Book Club

“Not since Barbara Kingsolver's The Bean Trees and Pigs in Heaven have I met three women so delightfully real, down-home, and unforgettable.” ~The Huntsville Times

“…Patricia Gaffney writes about women's lives with grace, insight and a remarkable ability to involve readers in her characters' stories. Circle of Three … reaffirms what you've already discovered. Gaffney is a great storyteller, and her latest tale should keep readers happy… [The characters] are as complex, three-dimensional and intriguing as any women you know.” ~Harrisburg Patriot-News

“Patricia Gaffney has done it again. In The Saving Graces, she wove characters so real you felt a part of their friendships. Now, in Circle of Three, she spins a tale about a family so genuine you will swear you know them.” ~Book Page

“Filled with insight, humor, and heart, Circle of Three celebrates the joys and frustrations of what it's like to have a mother and daughter while struggling to be a mother and daughter. Most of all, Circle of Three reminds us what's it like to be a woman.” ~Nora Roberts
