Anne Roiphe je plodná autorka, ktorej tvorba sa pohybuje medzi fikciou a spomienkami. Jej písanie sa vyznačuje slobodným myslením a skúmaním rozporov, často sa dotýka tém feminizmu a materstva. Roipheová sa nikdy nedržala straníckej línie, či už feministickej alebo inej, a jej diela sú cenené pre svoj úprimný a nekompromisný pohľad na moderný život.

Be prepared to cuont and get curious as you fall in love with numbres and with the world around us."-- Page 4 of cover
