The family histories, which span generations, have an inherently epic feel reminiscent of 100 YEARS OF SOLITUDE. I think this is a literary, epic love story with a great hook. I’m certain if and when you sell it, there will be a readership just clamoring to get their hands on it!"

The current day scenes at Sandrine’s potlucks are so vivid in my mind that I feel I was there. The same goes for the fabulous party scene in Mexico! I can feel the heat, hear the glass shattering and I’ll never forget Picasso tossing his caviar...
...I thoroughly enjoyed, and perhaps more importantly believed, the mix of fictional characters and historical figures. The party scene is vibrant, colourful and sexy. Everything feels electrically charged, whether by politics, sensuality, or mystery. The introduction of Picasso and Frida Kahlo adds both a touch of realism and of madness.
…As a past bookseller, I can honestly say it would be a pleasure to hand‐sell this type of work. It’s a story to really get lost in, one that sticks with you after you put it down."
