Selected by the "New York Times" as a "Notable Book of the Year," for it's "wicked, black comedy," "Duck and Cover" was hailed by "Publisher's Weekly" as "a bittersweet and utterly beguiling novel." The "Los Angeles Times" noted Peterson is "a hauntingly funny writer...the balance she strikes is almost hypnotic." An eerily prescient novel, "Duck and Cover" is even timelier now in a 21st century of intimate terrorism--within our families and our world.
