“If there is such a thing as a reflective madcap comedy, Roberts has created one with her novel. Maud’s House is a funny and angry comedy — the best kind. And deep in the book’s most secret heart, it is about what all great stories are always about: love and sex and death; or to put the same ideas another way: community and need and identity.” — Orson Scott Card, author of Ender’s Game
