Industry Reviews
"The many joys of Harris's writing remain: the evocation of French village life, the minutiae of feuding groups, and her apparent delight in, and observations of, nature. But...the structure is ragged, like a coastline. Big ideas...drift in and out, ideas raised yet barely explored. There are few characters to really warm to....Not one of Harris's best...."
Literary Review - Lucy Beresford (03/01/2002)
"]A]n ever-so-cozy tale....Amid descriptions of delicious scenery, quaint customs, and mouthwatering delicacies, the story is told....chockablock with stereotypically earthy villagers and picturesque, Travel Channel-like prose. Rightly or wrongly, Harris delivers the goods for readers who can't get enough of this sort of thing."
