Tomorrow There Will be Apricots by Jessica Soffer
Lorca is desperate to find a way into her mothers affections and as a last attempt decides to track down the recipe for her ideal meal, an obscure Middle Eastern dish called masgouf.
A profound and necessary new voiceSoffer's prose is as controlled as it is fresh, as incisive as it is musical. Soffer has arrived early, with an orchestra of talent at her disposal. -- Colum McCann
Soffer's breathtaking prose interweaves delectable descriptions of food with a profoundly redemptive story about loss, self-discovery, and acceptance. * O: The Oprah Magazine *
Delicate and impressive … Soffer’s style is natural and assured whether she’s writing about adolescent longings, adult sorrow, or the seemingly endless and sometimes thankless desire to please one’s parent. -- Meg Wolitzer, author of The Position and The Uncoupling
A work of beauty in word ... Ms. Soffer is a master artist painting the hidden hues of the human soul. Tomorrow There Will Be Apricots is an intelligent work in the vein of Azar Nafisi where the humanity of the characters transcends cultural or national differences and illustrates commonalities. * New York Journal of Books *
This beautiful, beautiful book calls to mind The Elegance of the Hedgehog, for its artistry and heart, and for its two unlikely soul mates—one old, one young, both harboring private grief, shaping their lives around what is missing, looking for families fate has denied them. I dare anyone to barricade their heart against this enchanting novel.
