Feast Your Eyes

“With cleverness and imagination, vivid historical detail and great heart… Feast Your Eyes becomes a universal and profound story of love and loss.” 

— Newsday

“A marvelous feat of the imagination… a remarkable piece of literature. Feast your eyes, indeed.” 

— Shelf Awareness

“Goldberg offers a searching consideration of the way that the identities and perceptions of a female artist shift over time.” 

— The New Yorker

“This is an unflinching, deeply moving portrait of the artist, and a bravura performance in and of itself. I loved this book.”

— Joshua Ferris, Then We Came to the End

The False Friend

“Not since Margaret Atwood’s Cat’s Eye have we seen such a precise and haunting portrayal of girl bullying. With uncanny pitch and tenderness, Goldberg captures both the passion of female friendship and its most savage rite of passage. Both girls and adults will find solace in this gem of a novel.”

— Rachel Simmons, Odd Girl Out: The Hidden Culture of Aggression in Girls

“The False Friend is a riveting read, both compelling and richly satisfying.”

— Richard Russo, author of Empire Falls

Wickett’s Remedy

“Her second novel is of a piece with [Bee Season] in its invention and stylistic skill. . . . A warmhearted, unusual and intelligent consideration of a world about which few people know.”

—  San Francisco Chronicle   

“Remarkable. . . . A historically credible account of the period just after America entered the First World War, when ‘the Spanish Lady’ laid waste to Boston and much of the rest of the country.”

Catching the Moon

“This is one of my top five favorites for children. The words are poetry, and the story is filled along the way with implied lessons. Beautifully, beautifully written.”

— Jeanne B

“I read [this book] to my daughter every night for bed. She loves the man in the moon. So I used that to help her deal with my deployment. I told her that any time she wanted to talk to Mommy, she could tell the man in the moon what she wanted to say, and he would tell me…Now, while I’m gone, I look up to the moon each night that he’s in the sky and smile, talking to my little girl before I go to bed.”

— Deployed Mommy

Time’s Magpie
