Critics Review
“An engaging novel that explores grief, family relationships, and friendship. Highly recommended for library collections looking for realistic travel fiction.“—School Library Journal, starred review
“Be swept along by the protagonist’s intense, even sensuous, responses to what he sees and especially tastes during this salutary, refreshingly offbeat odyssey…Dishes up a good dose of healing along with Spanish culinary delicacies.“—Kirkus Reviews
”Ruhlman’s background as a food writer shines in the many enticing descriptions of Spanish tapas and desserts throughout the novel…The distinct setting will speak to fans of Tobias Madden’s Wrong Answers Only”—Booklist
