“In her new novel, her fourth, a divorced woman named Adora Hazzard is enjoying life with her teenage daughter and a ‘coven’ of friends on the same floor of her building on New York’s Upper West Side. She is not looking for love, and so Semple gives it to her, sparking events that show off the author’s trademark hilarious chaos.” –The Washington Post 

“Go Gentle is a thoroughly fun and raucous read that richly explores the wisdom that comes with middle age and the tradeoff between being content and taking chances.” –BookPage 

“Maria Semple is a truly American author who sees the pathos, chaos and humor in each episode, in each character’s needs and wants…GO GENTLE is hard to put down — and the final events will stay with readers long after the last page is turned. This is the perfect book for spring, a time for renewal and recharging.” –Bookreporter

“Funny, tender, mysterious, clever…Semple entertains in every moment of this smart story of Greek philosophy and Greek statues; desire, happiness, and their opposites; and priceless midlife peace… Readers will have hearts in their eyes to see her first new novel in a decade.”–Booklist (Starred Review)
