Revue de presse :

"Hope is as full of optimism as her name and there are lots of fabulous descriptions of food. Heartwarming" (Kit Spring Observer)

"It's a triumph of conviction, wit and style over social and political naivety" (Books for Keeps)

"How can you resist such a wholesome book which has the message that the antidote to miscontent and unhappiness in the world is good food, especially pecan pie?" (The School Librarian)

"Its triumph is the way in which Bauer manages to recount the internecine politics and power struggles of a small, midwestern town" (Michael Thorn Scotsman)

"This is a thought provoking, beautifully written novel" (Waterstones Books Quarterly)
