- Life in Review
“Her original quirky voice never falters, imbuing this novel with a very Southern, rich and comic singularity.”
- — Publishers Weekly
“Patty Friedmann may be the greatest New Orleans author of the past quarter century. If you like New Orleans, if you’re interested in its Jewish community or Southern life or simply the rhythms of America’s most unique city, you’ll love Too Jewish. And even if you don’t give a hoot about NOLA and its Jews, buy Too Jewish for another reason: it’s a great read.”— Failed Messiah

- — Baltimore Sun

“There’s a genuine ghost story here, but it’s the human story here that sets off shivers.”— San Francisco ChroniclePraise for the Jake Samson series:“Jake Samson is sensitive and funny, a alittle wise, a little wary and pretty wonderful.”Publishers Weekly“Jack and Rosie are worth the book. They are personable characters who charm us with their affection….With Samson’s Deal she joins the elite sorority of Bay Area women who’ve made their fictional debut with novels that overtly pay homage and subtly parody the conventions of the mystery story.”
