Boston Globe – July 10, 2011
“In Roland Merullo’s captivating new novel, “The Talk-Funny Girl…’’ all the elements of the plot merge toward the end of the story in a breathless, stunning climax that feels both surprising and inevitable, causing us to appreciate all the more what Marjorie has gone through, and to feel a fresh admiration for her resilience. Her character, and the way her voice evolves, are the true triumphs of this book…She dares to set aside her fears, and dream, and it is a measure of the novel’s success that we cheer for her to achieve that dream, every step along the way.”
