Mrs Everything is an evocative, ambitious story of family, identity, sexuality, happiness, loss and liberation * CultureFly *
Weiner does an amazing job playing with perspective in this novel . . . Mrs. Everything reminded me how important it is to bear witness to one another's pain so that we can truly celebrate each other's joy -- Rebecca Serle, New York Times bestselling author of In Five Years
