Devils in the Sugar Shop's Blurbs |
About me:
"Devils in the Sugar Shop": the lives of wives, lovers, twin sisters, mothers, and daughters intersect, clash, and collide one snowy winter evening in the Old Market of Omaha, the week before Valentine's Day, in a comical whirlwind of deception, adultery, desperation, drag queens, stiff cocktails, nervous breakdowns, an anonymous stalker, and suburban swingers. So, it might be a mite trippy: with undertones of Woody Allen, old-school soap opera, Pedro Almodovar, Robert Altman, and Mrs. Dalloway. The Library Journal says “This novel of desire, longing, love, and enduring friendship is like an expensive box of chocolates: each silken morsel is luscious and approvingly decadent, and with every bite you don't necessarily know what you're going to get." A Book Sense pick for May. “I made the mistake of reading Devils in the Sugar Shop with a bad case of whiplash. Timothy Schaffert had me in agony and loving every minute. What a poignant, hilarious, deliciously perverse twist on the old school of Southern charm. Men should not be allowed to write women this well.”—Joni Rodgers, author of BALD IN THE LAND OF BIG HAIR
