"Just as full of magic and imagination, but equally full of fun and secret domestic pleasures is the boldly-told My Wife the Hyena, by Nina Killham" -- The Short Review "A story of the irrefutable power of things unseen...I was stunned at this novel's assurance." - Jacqueline Mitchard, (The Deep End of the Ocean) "Killham's rollicking second novel cleverly sends up the romance genre while standing as a funny, romantic novel in its own right...fast paced and thoroughly enjoyable." - Publishers Weekly "There is of course, amid all the laughter, a serious point here. Sex indeed is too much with us, in too public and too cynically commercial ways, and a bit of toning down indeed is in order. Killham makes the point deftly in this very clever, very adult novel." -- Jonathan Yardley, the Washington Post "Dysfunctional family melodrama, biting satire, scathing indictment, and a call to the barricade, How to Cook a Tart takes no prisoners." - Anthony Bourdain, author of Kitchen Confidential and A Cook's Tour If you'd like to get in touch I'd love to hear from you.Read More
