After a few faltering steps she starts to put the pieces into place. She opens her house to a series of lodgers who each in their eccentric way help her to see herself.

Praise for Open House

Berg's narrative is agile and freshly observed.

New York Times Book Review

Berg has an ability to capture the way women think, feel and speak - With her quirky characters and precise observations, Berg sits somewhere between Anne Tyler and Alice Hoffman - The details and emotions in Open House are sometimes heartwrenching, sometimes hilarious.
