Reviews

Annabel’s latest work looks set to be THE cookbook for pregnant women.

—— The Sun

A delightful read that makes the perfect accompaniment for mums-to-be at the very start of their special journey into parenthood... a book that mums-to-be can pour over, cherish and rely on absolutely to answer every little question about nutrition and pregnancy.

—— mummypages.co.uk

Great new book out by Annabel Karmel, Eating for Two, it's a guide to nutrition during pregnancy with great/delicious recipes in it too!

'Sibling Rivalry’ is certainly compelling reading, well set out and easy to read.

—— Angels and Urchins Magazine

Based on hundreds of interviews with parents, psychologists and teachers, the book highlights some solutions for bad sibling behaviour that will really make a difference.

—— Right Start Magazine

Instead of prescriptive dos and don’ts to stop the little darlings from murdering each other, the authors suggest roles to suit different situations.

—— Families Magazine

Thanks for the advice. I will definitely try these techniques.

—— Rosy Bennett, AskAMum.co.uk

With wit punctuating lambent nostalgia, Erica Heller brings her father to life in an animated, absorbing fashion, documenting his quirky habits, celebrity, and "invisible, unfathomable inner cycle," but also her parents' divorce and Heller's suffering with Guillain-Barre syndrome. The total effect is akin to leafing through a bulging family scrapbook where one finds a few blurry images among many snapshots in sharp focus. Erica Heller has inherited her father's finely tuned flair with words

—— Publishers Weekly

Intimate, yet well-researched..comedic and poignant, her many-faceted memoir is rendered in high-definition as Heller recounts meals, travels, parties, arguments, lies, and the serious illnesses that afflicted her and her parents. Writing with wit, compassion, aplomb, and no little wonder at what her father wrought and her mother endured and how this legacy shaped her, Heller presents an involving and invaluable work of personal and cultural history.

—— Booklist

Heller's family memoir brims with warm reflections right from the opening chapters... An affectionate family scrapbook crafted with a bittersweet blend of humor and pathos

—— Kirkus Reviews

Erica Heller to me is like a Carrie Fisher on the East Coast. She is as authentic as they come

—— Richard Lewis, comedian, actor, author

Erica Heller has a story to tell and I for one am eager to see it in print. I think this is going to be one hell(er) of a memoir

—— Christopher Buckley, author of Losing Mum and Pup

The New York of the period leaps off the page

—— Emma Hagestadt , Independent

Heller's domestic side is evoked with painful detail by his daughter, Erica, in her well written, occasionally harrowing memoir, Yossarian Slept Here

—— Sunday Times

Likeable memoir...just as Daugherty is blind to the limitations of Heller's work so he appears resistant to personal criticism of Heller or rebuke. Just One Catch is no hagiography but, of these two biographical accounts on Yossarian Slept Here gives us the gruff, arrogant big shot; the smug cocky fellow who sometimes showed up to friend's cocktail parties for the sheer fun of insulting them

—— Leo Robson , Financial Times
