Industry Reviews
"[A] full-flavored banquet that will stimulate the appetite of the weariest gourmet....Harris is an acute observer of the lush French countryside, and her descriptions of it are a delight.....This is a luscious feast of a book...."
Literary Review - Clarissa Burden (04/20/2001)
"Beyond her evocative descriptions of paella antillaise and dried apricot clafoutis, Harris' absorbing, well-crafted novel is ultimately the story of a woman coming to terms with her past."
Book - Mimi O'Connor
"...Harris takes her time to get to the point of FIVE QUARTERS OF THE ORANGE, but the ending is unexpectedly sweet and powerful, a reward for the patient reader."
New York Times Book Review - Dana Kennedy (07/01/2001)
