I'm honored, humbled and grateful for this latest 5-Star review, shared in entirety from Goodreads:
Contemporary: 'An Enlightening Quiche':
Although this isn't a genre I generally read, An Enlightening Quiche is simply a masterpiece of verbal dexterity, insight into the lives and mores of a Canuckster-type town in northern Rhode Island, and an examination of the human heart.
To describe this novel in only a few paragraphs would be an injustice to Ms. Pasco, the novel's author. Superbly plotted, with full-blown characterizations, cynicism, a biting wit, and an incredibly refined command of the medium, Ms. Pasco has depicted a kind of modern-day Peyton Place, only more so.
We have Augusta and Lindsay, two women in their forties, revealing thoughts and impressions, secrets and lies. Both of them have their own voices, and by expertly combining past and present in the narrative, Ms. Pasco achieves what many other writers of contemporary fiction cannot--a portrait done in full, so complete that it steps off the page.
That is writing. And this is a novel that doesn't come along very often. Something enlightening, something thought provoking, and something very, very good.
Highly recommended. If I could give it ten stars, I would. It's that good.
