Recenzii
"Grounded in the gripping art of storytelling, [it] demonstrates Fred Chappell's universal appeal . . . A stirring chorale of women's voices."--Robert Taylor, "The Boston Globe ""A vibrant picture . . . Chappell describes steely, passionate women, the savory foods they cook, and the luscious landscapes they inhabit."--Margot Mifflin, "Entertainment Weekly""An array of flavorful tales . . . a sometimes boisterous, sometimes lyrical, sometimes Gothically romantic celebration of women."--David Willis McCullough, "The New York Times Book Review""Haunting . . . Rich, lyrical, and frequently elegiac . . . Fred Chappell has become one of our indispensable contemporary writers."--Greg Johnson, "The Atlanta Journal/Constitution""Exuberant . . . musically written . . . Chappell here acknowledges fully and equally both the sadness and celebration and honors both, as only a gifted, fully initiated, grown-up writer can do."--Doris Betts, "The World and I""Marvelous . . . The most affecting work of fiction about place and love . . . since "A River Runs Through It"."--Howard Frank Mosher, "The Washington Post Book World"
