The New York Times, in its review of
How I Came Into My Inheritance, wrote "Gallagher's most humane talent is her ability to resurrect her dead, to restore ancient relatives to vibrant youth." and concluded "Gallagher's uncompromising presentation of both the beautiful and the abhorrent aspects of their lives has a cumulative effect. Readers who relish the truth -- served straight up, 120 proof -- will be intoxicated by her book and will accept her inheritance as their own."
