"Ingenious." -- Frances Wilson - Times Literary Supplement
"Straight from the pages of a novel by Edith Wharton or Henry James." -- The Times
"[Lucey pieces together] lost stories, and the stormy brew of scandal and repression that affected these women—and Sargent himself." -- Elle
"As rich as [Sargent’s] portraits are, the textural evidence in which Ms. Lucey ensnares them is finer still." -- The Wall Street Journal
"[These women] were smart, passionate, willful, adventurous and striking-looking.… Lucey’s prose is invitingly conversational and quick-flowing." -- The Washington Post
"It [Sargent's Women] tells of an era long gone yet still fascinating." -- Choice
