Reviews and Endorsements
'Andrew Solomon's investigation of many of the most intense challenges that parenthood can bring compels us all to re-examine how we understand human difference. Perhaps the greatest gift of this monumental book, full of facts and full of feelings, is that it constantly makes one think, and think again.'
- Philip Gourevitch
'Reading Far from the Tree is a mind-opening experience.'
- Eric Kandel
'A brave and ambitious work, bringing together science, culture and a powerful empathy. Solomon tells us that we have more in common with each other - even with those who seem anything but normal - than we would ever have imagined.'
- Malcolm Gladwell
