Anmeldelser
«It's as though the Song of Solomon had been rewritten by Gabriel Garcia Marquez . . . a master class in the storyteller's art.»
* Daily Telegraph *
«Shalev's novel, plump with incident and character, is structured around the four meals that Jacob, a candidate father, prepares for Zayde, but in between Shalev brings on side dishes of interlocking stories that keep the reader sated.»
* Guardian *
«This is a literary novel that succeeds in being neither incomprehensible nor humourless. The author writes with a light touch and an eye for amusing quirks of character.»
* The Historical Novels Review *
«This delicious novel . . . has been wonderfully translated.»
Penny Perrick, * The Times *
