»Martin Suter describes a great banquet in appetising detail, in which delicacies are served in a daring fusion of Japanese and Mediterranean.«
»The charm of this story, which can easily be devoured on a long train journey, is in its attractive nonchalance, the kind all successful confidence tricksters possess.«
