"a moving story of two Italian American siblings across several decades...graceful prose...poignant character driven story," Publisher's Weekly
"a refreshing family portrait about interpersonal evolution...presented with affection, humor, and insight...evocative, uplifting," Midwest Book Review
“highly polished artistic prose…evolves fluidly; with great heart and humour…A consummate exponent in the art of storytelling and skilled in the imagery of words... the characters are all emotionally complex…lyrical and lovingly written…profound and thought provoking,” Fiction Books Biz Book Reviews
"The periods and places are so well realised, with the kind of simple, yet revealing, strokes Donna admires in her brother's drawings. This is writing of the highest quality...it is a book that makes you think, to question your assumptions. And that is something that the best literature sets out to do," Rosie Amber Book Reviews
"a heartfelt family story told with grace and humor," Rose City Reader
