House Lights
This latest novel from Cohen is a hit.
Library Journal
Intelligent and searching...a coming-of-age novel that casts a distinctly female eye on the form, not asking how far it's possible to travel from
one's original self so much as considering the possibility that we may never really leave our child selves behind...House Lights is artfully
constructed. By virtue of their length, novels forgive undisciplined descriptive flights, but Cohen writes with the scrupulousness of someone
fashioning a short story, in which even the smallest details must bear their weight of significance.
The New York Times Book Review
In this excellent novel...Cohen suggests that real love almost always runs counter to the conveniences of society.
The Washington Post
Cohen offers lyrical prose, a remarkable voice and a wealth of insights.
Seattle Times
Tantalizing in its evocation of emotional fragility and piercing in its interpretation of subconscious desires, Cohen's captivating family drama thrums
with a sensitive authenticity that is all the more provocative thanks to its poignant lyricism.
