Dalla quarta di copertina:

"Blue Plate Special is so smart, so wry, so beautifully written and so astonishingly observed that I want to invoke whatever rating--five stars, A-plus, standing ovation--best conveys the message, You must not miss the great pleasures of this wonderful novel and the talents of Frances Norris."
- Elinor Lipman, author of The Pursuit of Alice Thrift and The Inn at Lake Devine

"Frances Norris leavens her moving story of a thirty-something's struggle to secure a place for herself with a hilarious send-up of pretentiousness in many guises from L. A. to Appalachia."
- Christina Schwarz, author of Drowning Ruth
