Tonight I'll officially launch Small Damages (Philomel) in my hometown library. I'll be sharing images of the research process, snapshots of Spain, and a glimpse of my Estela's cortijo kitchen. I'll also be giving those who come this recipe card, featuring one of Estela's favorite easy desserts. Now, Estela is Estela, and pears are pears—so many different textures, so many degrees of firm. You have to mess with temperature and timing, therefore, but if you wait until the pears are truly cooked through, you'll have a sensational little treat on your hands (plumped raisins, Malaga- and orange-flavored pear flesh).
I am looking forward (so much) to this evening. Please come, if you are near:

Yum! That recipe sounds delicious! I have a very watery mouth. Have a great time! Happy Launch!
Happy launch party! Wish I could be there. xo
I just emailed my friend in Wayne. Wish I could be there to celebrate and see what a first class launch party looks like. Today I began Small Damages - the best way I know how to participate in your launch. Have a great time!
I read books to help out my sister select books for her small book store. I loved the pacing rhythm of the book. I started off loving the main character and fell in love with Estela and the family Kenzie made in Spain. I wanted to learn more about you the research you did for the book really showed. I lived in Sevilla for a year and have a PhD in urban studies-you captured a pace of life. It often seemed more like 1950 than 1995 but I was willing to go with the flow.
