Swinehart: 'The Privileges' "may be our finest guide yet to gracious living in the 21st Century"

In The Chicago Tribiune, Kirk Swinehart, assistant professor of history, reviews the new novel by Jonathan Dee titled, The Privileges. Swinehart writes “Jonathan Dee has written, among many other things, a riveting book about the new American family and the atomizing pressures of modern life. ‘The Privileges’ may be our finest guide yet to gracious living in the 21st century,” and that the main characters,  Adam and Cynthia Morey,  “finally resemble no one so much as ourselves.”
