Recensione:
"It is beautifully written, a cooking up of love and self to feed the devouring appetites of Gerturde Stein and Alice B. Toklas that is nothing less than a masterpiece of delicate and -naturally- existentialist hedonism." (Andro Linklater The Spectator)
"The Book of Salt reminded me of how thrilling really fine writing can be, and how rarely one sees it" (Sarah Waters)
