Hannah Mccouch
Villard, 2004
A Delicious Read
+ i read this book about the same time i was reading " kitchen confidential"
This slim little book packs quite a punch. McCouch's Layla is the kind of character that sticks with you after you put the book down. The author has a deft hand with characterization and, with a few adroit phrases, brings even her supporting players to vivid life. I didn't want the book to end ...

Lovejoy: A Year in the Life of an Abortion Clinic2 reviews
Peter Korn
Atlantic Monthly Pr, 1996
Wonderful read
