Critical Reviews
Critical Reviews
"A charming comedy of eros . . . A ride that, despite the bumps and curves in the road, never feels anything less than jaunty." --Los Angeles Times "Lewycka is a writer with a fundamentally optimistic vision of the future and a healthy curiosity about the past." --Chicago Tribune "Charming, poignantly funny." --The Washington Post Book World "It's rare to find a first novel that gets so much right . . . Lewycka is a seriously talented comic writer"-- Time Out (London) "Intelligent, lively, well written and compassionate" ― Financial Times "Ploughs a rich comic furrow"― Daily Telegraph (London) "A clever, touching story" ― Economist "Delightful, funny, touching" -- Spectator (London)
