“Dazzling in its descriptions, lush and lyrical in language, Melissa Pritchard has given the world a jewel of a novel. Palmerino is a tale to be savored like a rich Italian pastry. Her characters—eccentric, quirky, and brilliant—will live on in the heart and mind long after the last crumb is licked from the plate.”
Naomi Benaron, author of Running the Rift
