"I really enjoyed this book; the story of the thespian lives of the Chance twins and their colourful family and friends, is funny and bawdy, fast and furious."
Wise Children grabbed me on page one. The voice of narrator Dora Chance is charming, witty, unique and honest. Her story of family, show business and Shakespeare is perfectly told. Bawdy, brisk and brilliant!"
"A take off on the Merchant of Venice's "It's a wise father who knows his own child," which itself is a take-off of the Odyssey's "It's a wise child who knows his father." The book is a retrospective of 100 years of history of the great Shakespearian family the Hazards, on the occasion of Melchior Hazard's 100th birthday. Narrated by one of Melchior's lively and never acknowledged twin daughters, it's a story filled with twins, mix-ups, vulgarity, and drama. I'm not sure why I'd never heard of Angela Carter before -- this book was published in the early 90's. She seems to have been a well-known and loved British author, but maybe just didn't quite make the jump across the pond or I just wasn't paying enough attention."
