Recenzii

&#8220Lost in the is a luscious sensory experience of a novel. I could smell the sewage and the sea, taste the history in the descriptions of crumbling buildings, quarreling couples and sizzling oil. . . .  The story feels tactile, rich, and meditative, all at the same time.&#8221
Leah Franqui, author of America For Beginners

“Heddi Goodrich is a magnificent storyteller who keeps us in the moment, while letting the shadows of the past close in, leaving the reader enthralled. I loved it. Bellissima!“ — Adriana Trigiani, bestselling author of Tony’s Wife 
“Far from the deteriorating and claustrophobic rione of Elena Ferrante, and from the violent Gomorra of Roberto Saviano, Heddi Goodrich’s is a third Naples - central, dense, vital - seen through the eyes of a foreigner who surprisingly found her most authentic voice there …” — Cristina Taglietti, Corriere della sera
“One of the merits of the book, and maybe its strongest, is this language that the author almost had to invent, bending it to form unusual sounds especially regarding the syntax but also in terms of her choice of words: sown here and there with words as surpising as blooms in a field” — Francesco Durante, Il mattino
“A declaration of love for Naples, and not at all superficial: it is powerful and authentic precisely because it is a foreigner’s point of view, one that is not afraid of this vast city that is often difficult to comprehend.” — Pier Luigi Razzano, La Repubblica, Napoli
