"Napolitano writes with beauty and power, skillfully bringing her characters within arms's reach until your heart is taken and this family becomes your own. This novel is a must-read for any book group." --Hannah Tinti, author of Animal Crackers "Napolitano has created a fascinating family in crisis. . . . Successfully skirting melodrama, [she] gives us a family drama that says even the most contentious can find a bit of happiness." -- Hartford Courant "As if we are friends she brought home for the holidays, Ann Napolitano plops us onto the living room sofa of a big family with big problems and gives us an intimate view of what goes on behind closed doors. Within Arm's Reach is a deft, vivacious novel whose author compels us to stay seated until the very last word." --Helen Ellis, author of Eating the Cheshire Cat "A fresh and exceptionally strong family portrait." -- Denver Post, "Napolitano writes with beauty and power, skillfully bringing her characters within arms's reach until your heart is taken and this family becomes your own.
