"Sassy, brash, acrobatic and colorful . . . I want to read it again
and again." --"Time"
"Impressive . . . Soffer's style is natural and assured." --Meg
Wolitzer, "All Things Considered," NPR
Lorca spends her life poring over cookbooks to earn the love of
her distracted mother, a chef, who is now packing her off to
boarding school. Desperate to prove herself, Lorca resolves to
track down the recipe for her mother's ideal meal. She signs up for
cooking lessons from Victoria, an Iraqi-Jewish immigrant profoundly
shaken by her husband's death. Soon these two women develop a
deeper bond while their concoctions--cardamom pistachio cookies,
baklava, and "masgouf"--bake in Victoria's kitchen. But their
individual endeavors force a reckoning with the past, the future,
and the truth--whatever it might be.
In "Tomorrow There Will Be Apricots" we see how food sustains not
just our bodies, but our hopes as well. "Bukra fil mish mish," the
Arabic saying goes. Tomorrow, apricots may bloom.
"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."
--Colum McCann, author of "Let the Great World Spin "
"Moving and] extraordinary." --"Atlantic"
"A work of beauty in words . . . Soffer is a master artist painting
the hidden hues of the human soul." --"New York Journal of
Books"
