Reviews
Sneed writes slyly funny, masterful comedies of manners utterly unlike anything else in American letters. -- Joanna Rakoff, author of My Salinger Year and A Fortunate Age
A novel about art and artifice that is heartfelt, a novel about love and deception that is clear-eyed, witty and wise. Sneed entertains and tantalizes, in the most Parisian manner * Amy Bloom, author of Lucky Us *
A wry, sexy, clever little gem of a novel, Christine Sneed's latest lights up the streets of Paris with elegance and wit * Jami Attenberg, New York Times bestselling author of The Middlesteins *
Art, desire, romance and Paris itself are brought so beautifully together in Christine Sneed's new novel. She writes with contagious affection for her characters, and in the delightful and delighted hours I spent inside Paris, He Said I had that rare feeling we can get from a novel - I was happy to be alive * Scott Spencer, National Book Award finalist and bestselling author of Endless Love *
A delicious treat, studded with wise and beautifully observed detail that places side by side those perpetually fascinating antagonists, the eager, casual American and the meticulous, pleasure-driven French * Roselle Brown, New York Times bestselling author of Before and After *
Impressive . . . Hypnotic . . . Hard to put the book down . . . Sneed is such a gifted writer. -- Curtis Sittenfeld, New York Times Book Review (cover), on Little Known Facts
