"I read Luis
Jaramillo's beautiful collection in one sitting. This is a
ravishing book. I loved every word. It should be required
reading for everyone." --Abigail

"The Doctor's Wife is like the
runaway child of Evelyn Waugh's A Handful of Dust--Luis
Jaramillo's acerbic wit and satire are rare finds in
America. Pick this up at once." --Alexander
Chee
"The Doctor's Wife is
story-writing at its best; lean, even epigrammatic, each of
these stories offers a beautifully realizedi nsight into the
life of three generations of a family in the pacific
Northwest." --Scott Turow
