Review:
"A more whimsical, less knowing variation on David Nicholls's blockbuster One Day . . .immensely likeable, unexpectedly compelling."--Irish Times
"Lighthearted and offbeat, [DELICACY] serves up a mostly frothy dish of romance, lost love, new hope, and typically Gallic sensibilities . . . [a] thoughtful, character-driven novel."--Booklist
"An extraordinary combination of emotional depth and lightness of touch that sometimes approaches the whimsical without ever tipping over into the twee."--Sydney Morning Herald
Delicate, funny, offbeat, and subtle . . . Foenkinos paces the novel well, breaking it up with songs, lists, footnotes, and other formal elements reminiscent of Nick Hornby or Rick Moody yet making them his own. --Publishers Weekly (starred review)"
