    Praise

    “Readers…will enjoy her vivid renderings of the offbeat characters, sumptuous cuisine, and loup-garou lore that suffuse this sylvan stretch of southwestern France.” —Booklist “Wan’s pair of charming neurotics keep the pages turning.” —Kirkus “Wan nails the details, the ambiance few know unless they’ve been lucky enough to visit the Dordogne. She paints the quirky larger than life characters with a sure touch.”—www.paris-expat.com
