| “Madcap, in the very best sense of the word, Hanna Golan’s journey to the Siberia of extended family, Meet My Out-Laws, is chick lit with a whip. I thoroughly enjoyed it.” |

Twelve Times Blessed, A Theory of Relativity, The Deep End of the Ocean,
The Most Wanted, Cage of Stars, Now You See Her,
and Still Summer (will appear in hardcover in August 2007)

“This is hilarious.
“Meet My Out-Laws should be required reading for every new bride-to-be if for no other reason than to assure her that her in-laws aren't so bad after all.
“Though in some ways, this book is poignantly sad, still you won't be able to keep from laughing out loud at what this poor woman endured at the busy-body hands and sharp tongues of her husband's parents. And if you've endured some of the same moments from your own in-laws, it will make you even more sympathetic.
“The author has a delightfully funny and wicked way of relating what she put up-with for what must have seemed to be an eternity. It wouldn't hurt for in-laws to read this book to learn how not to treat a daughter-in-law.” |

“A well written, fast paced account of a natural disaster: in-laws running amok!
“Hanna Golan's Meet My Out-Laws is a sadly funny (not necessarily fictional) memoir about the verbal abuse launched at her continually by her new spouse's parents. Small town mentality adds to our heroin's dilemma but at the end stength and conviction prevails. A must read for brides and in-laws-to-be.” |
-- Tony Lazzarini

| “I loved and hated Hanna Golan's Meet My Out-Laws. It's amazing in so many respects - the writing, the flow, the stories are terrific. When trying to divorce myself from knowing the central character, I could appreciate the humor and the light touch Golan gave it with her descriptive, tolerant writing. I also found all the individuals fascinating. Having grown up in a small town, I could relate to the small town issues and shuddered a few times.
“I hated it because I cannot stand the thought of Golan having to go through so many years with that family. I wanted to wash out their out-law mouths with soap and sit on them (I'm heavy enough to cause a gasp) for treating her as they did. I wanted to lock their door so they couldn't leave their house and bother her. I could not stand their ignorance and their egos.
“My hat's once again off to Hanna Golan - her talents abound. There's nothing I would take a red pen to. Sorry if she was looking for constructive criticism. I have none.”
