Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“Poignant…In de Blasi’s tale of unexpected turns taken during the search for understanding and identity, she balances heartbreak, loneliness, fear, and hope with aplomb.” —Publishers Weekly
“The sights, sounds, smells, and tastes of Amandine’s journey through life are palpable, and the reader shares in the sensual nature of the food described. The story is captivating, the characters are alive, and readers will hunger for more as the novel ends. Truly, de Blasi can be considered the Julia Child of fiction. A wonderful read for both fans of historical fiction and women’s fiction and one that shouldn’t be missed.” —Library Journal
“Wartime France provides a vivid, dramatic background, and de Blasi’s experience as a food writer makes her descriptions of meals throughout the book even more evocative.” —Booklist
