** A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK ** ""A funny and surprisingly poignant story ... the eccentricities of plot, setting and character are delightful."" -- The Baltimore Sun ""Delightful."" -- The San Francisco Chronicle ""An abundantly talented writer ... entertaining and illuminating ... Zafris steadily uses the accretion of gritty details to give her novel authenticity and weight."" -- The New York Times Book Review ""Remarkable wit and honesty ... a remarkable debut."" -- Winston-Salem Journal ""I could not put it down ... funny, intriguing and smartly written."" -- The Sacramento Bee ""A sometimes zany, sometimes touching odyssey ... full of the sweat of real labor and the sinews of class guilt."" -- The Christian Science Monitor
