Books
Goldhagen has published one novel as of 2010:
- Family And Other Accidents (ISBN 0-385-51597-9)
Entertainment Weekly said the book "delicately mines the complexities of how loved ones seem close and far away -- often at the same time -- and how the smallest word uttered has the power to unravel or save. You embrace this book enthusiastically."
People Magazine called the book an "engrossing, beautifully written debut."
Richard Ford, in writing an endorsement on the dust jacket of Family and Other Accidents, wrote: "Ms. Goldhagen already, at a young age, is a fully self-possessed novelist, in command of large figurations, shrewed intelligence and wit, and a fine eye for the world and the American sentence."

Famous quotes containing the word books:
“No common-place is ever effectually got rid of, except by essentially emptying one’s self of it into a book; for once trapped in a book, then the book can be put into the fire, and all will be well. But they are not always put into the fire; and this accounts for the vast majority of miserable books over those of positive merit.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“All books are either dreams or swords,
You can cut, or you can drug, with words.”
—Amy Lowell (1874–1925)
“The books we think we ought to read are poky, dull, and dry;
The books that we would like to read we are ashamed to buy;
The books that people talk about we never can recall;
And the books that people give us, oh, they’re the worst of all.”
—Carolyn Wells (1870–1942)
