Critics Review
PRAISE FOR THE SUGAR THIEF:
“The Sugar Thief is as deliciously tart and layered as the legendary pastry at the centre of the story. I devoured it with gusto.”
—Sarah Knight, bestselling author of Calm the F*ck Down
“The Sugar Thief is an ingeniously plotted story about immigrant families and YouTube stars that is stuffed with knockout sentences. Nancy Mauro offers the literary equivalent of a show-stopping pastry with her surprising and satisfying novel.”
—Kevin Chong, author of The Double Life of Benson Yu
“The Sugar Thief is no mere confection: written with comic brio, Nancy Mauro’s heartfelt novel is also a trenchant examination of our algorithm-chasing mass culture and the knotty allegiances and legacies of family and home.”
–Teddy Wayne, Whiting Award-winning author of The Love Song of Jonny Valentine
PRAISE FOR NANCY MAURO:
“Nancy Mauro is a writer of rare and refined talent. …With her flawless prose she opens bare the hearts of her characters, their vain desires and everyday tragedies.”
—Anthony Swofford, New York Times bestselling author of Jarhead and Exit A
