The reviews are coming in two thumbs up:
Kirkus says: "A broad, sweetly fantastical satire just perfect for readers in the mood."
Publishers Weekly proclaims: "A lively . . . series launch. . . . The various strands come together in a satisfying if overly complicated conclusion. Witty prose complements the clever plotting. Readers will eagerly await Softly's return."
Annette Gordon-Reed, Pulitzer Prize-winning historian and Carl M. Loeb University Professor at Harvard, concurs: 'Smoothly written, with humor and insight, this smart book holds your attention to the very end."

Taking Offense. An extension of the project of Liberalism Undressed. This next book is a study of what to me is the baffling but worldwide phenomenon of people (me too) who grow agitated by what other people say and (sometimes) do, even though what's done is merely offensive, not harmful. But why? And what should we do about it? For my blog exploring the subject, Taking-Offense, which launched in November 2015, see the link in the sidebar to the left.
