Críticas:

"Pop Quiz: Your beloved husband dies suddenly, leaving you penniless and perplexed. Do you (a) climb into bed until your house is repossessed (b) find another, wealthier man to pick up the tab, or (c) take a deep breath, grab hold of your daughters, and dive into the mess? Because I myself lean toward A, I was charmed and inspired by Georgia Waltz, heroine of "The Widow Waltz", who in the face of calamity, digs deep for answers and discovers her better self in the process. By turns lighthearted and insightful, "The Widow Waltz" is a clarion call for any woman who's been disappointed by love: Take a chance! Forgive yourself! Forgive each other! Buy this book!"
--Jillian Medoff, bestselling author of "I Couldn't Love You More" and "Hunger Point"
"Sally Koslow takes the economic downturn faced by millions and turns it into a modern-day urban fairytale featuring plucky heroines, wolfish villains, a magic garden and one unlikely knight. "The Widow Waltz" tells a story of reinvention with humor, intrigue and just the right touch of mid-life romance."
--Ann Bauer, author of "The Forever Marriage"
"Sally Koslow delivers another winner, a smart and hopeful story of a mother and daughters growing up and starting over - together."

Praise for "The Widow Waltz"
"Sally Koslow gives us a portrait of female fortitude and reinvention in her tale of how fifty-something Georgia must start again from 'Go' after her luxurious Manhattan life implodes overnight. Reading a Koslow novel is like eating a top-of-the-line gourmet truffle: exquisitely and carefully constructed, ultimately pleasurable--yet there's iron in it, too. Readers of Anne Tyler, Elin Hildebrand, Cathleen Schine, and Randy Susan Meyers will devour this book as I did."
