A profound and necessary new voice. Soffer'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.

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.

Soffer's breathtaking prose interweaves delectable descriptions of food with a profoundly redemptive story about loss, self-discovery, and acceptance.

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.

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.

So lively with love it hurts

This super sensory tale of two anchorless women is perfect if you like your summer reading with a little more oomph.

A heart-warming tale of love and loss ... A mouthwatering read.
