Praise by the press and the booksellers:

»Sweet, funny, magical.«
Bridget Keown / Kirkus Review, New York

»Bergmann’s novel, a pleasing blend of Sara Gruen’s Water for Elephants and Jonathan Safran Foer’s Everything is Illuminated, puts magic back into everyday life.«
Booklist, Chicago

»A lovely story. A tale for those who continue to look for magic in the world.«
Toni V. Sweeney / New York Journal of Books

»Bergmann’s storytelling is a feat of magic in and of itself.«
RT Book Reviews, New York

»If you liked the book A Man Called Ove, then you'll like this book also. The whole book is beautifully written.«
David Halpern - B&N in Akron, OH

»The writing style was so assured, it's hard to believe this is a first novel (the narrative calls to mind early John Irving with a Jewish sense of irony).«
Sherry Chiger (Reviewer)
