[Warlick's] writing is smooth and elegant. The love and anguish experienced as marriages unravel is palpable and painful to the reader.
Historical Novel Society


(Starred review.) This stellar novel...fictionalizes the beginnings of the seminal food writer M.F.K. Fisher...amid the triangle of her professor husband, Al, and their friend Tim Parrish in 1930s Los Angeles.... It’s a treat to find such a beautifully written treatment of love in its different forms.
Publishers Weekly


This reimagining of the life of legendary food writer M.F.K. Fisher deals with appetites of all kinds. Mary Frances, as she is called as the novel opens, is married to uncommunicative Al and eager for a passionate interlude with Al's friend Tim. You can imagine what happens when she acts on her desires.
Library Journal


Blending fact and fiction, this historical novel covers nine eventful years in the life of legendary food writer M.F.K. Fisher...: a beautiful, talented protagonist; lush settings; illicit sex; mouthwatering food. But the novel falls flat...it never makes us care about its star-crossed trio.
