Industry Reviews
"An intelligent tear-jerker."
Kirkus (06/01/2005)
"For all its sadness, his narrative is never maudlin; for all its familiarity, it's never trite. No tears are jerked in the delivery of this solidly satisfying little romance, whose author is something of a Houdini in the art of escaping banality."
Washington Post Book World - Donna Rifkind (08/14/2005)
