Reviews
A guilty pleasure that makes for an indulgent afternoon, its an intelligent and well-formulated work of literature.--Anhoni Patel "San Francisco Chronicle"
The book's strength is its characters, who are driven by love, crafty relatives, and a hunger to know the past.-- "Boston Globe"
A polished story, smooth as stone. It is most poignant as it delves into the follies that make us human.-- "Milwaukee Journal Sentinel"
