Rezensionen
"What a charming, engaging, and utterly delightful novel! It takes a writer of enormous talent and heart, to say nothing of spiritual depth, to give us a life-affirming story such as this. I am already impatient to get the next Jana Bibi book, because reading this novel put me in such a good mood¿I might have a t-shirt made up that says, Fire your therapist. Read Betsy Woodman." --Elizabeth Berg, author of Once Upon a Time There Was You and The Day I Ate Whatever I Wanted
