From Library Journal:
Professor, literary critic, and author of a highly acclaimed biography of Dashiell Hammett, Johnson sets her latest novel in San Francisco at the fictional Alta Buena Hospital, focusing as she has before on the lives of the privileged. Her tale of relations among Dr. Philip Watts (handsome senior physician), Ivy Tarro (beautiful patient), and Mimi Franklin (dedicated volunteer) is, except for a few explicit phrases, a romance novel: breathless and girlish in tone, too dependent on implausible plot developments, regrettably prone to ethnic and sexual stereotyping, filled with predictable female fantasies. Not Johnson's best work by a long shot, but simple and pleasant reading. Recommended for comprehensive collections of popular fiction.
