"St Aubin de Teran gets it right. . . . She has patience andimagination and a wonderful sense of humor. . . . After visiting this long with her, it was hard to leave."-- Susan Salter Reynolds, "Los Angeles Times Book Review"Exotically entertaining. . . . The luscious descriptions of wood smells, rustic scenes, and delicious foodstuffs make you want to go immediately into the kitchen and boil up tomatoes and basil plants in an old pot.... A huge success."-- Helen Fielding, "Sunday Times "(London)"Authentic. . . . Her next book should prove worth waiting for."-- William Weaver, "Washington Post Book World""There should be more people in the world like Lisa St Aubin de Teran."-- Michael Thompson-Noel, " Financial Times" (London)
