Home Town“Tracy Kidder transports us to an ordinary place where ordinary people live ordinary lives — and every bit of it is fascinating.” —The Sun (Baltimore) |

House“Told with such clarity, intelligence and grace it makes you wonder why no one has written a book like it before.” —Paul Goldberger, The New York Times Book Review |
The Soul of a New Machine“Kidder has endowed the tale with such pace, texture and poetic implication that he has elevated it to a high level of narrative art.” —Samuel C. Florman, The New York Times Book Review |
![]() Old Friends“Love, romance, obsession, ambition, the quest for truth and the yearning for justice are all present here. Anger and regret are here, too; and a grief that the middle-aged can’t begin to fathom… Mr. Kidder has reminded us that old age is the last great opportunity for the human spirit to flourish. This is a beautiful book.” —Mary Maher, Irish Times |
