"HEARTWARMING . . . Everything that really matters is here: humor, romance, wisdom, and drama."
-The Dallas Morning News

"[THIS] BIG-HEARTED NOVEL . . . is populated with many of the same characters readers found endearing the first time around; and the story of a mother grappling with grief over the loss of a child is genuinely moving."
-Publishers Weekly

"SATISFYING READING . . . AS SKILLFULLY AS MS. TRIGIANI MAKES US LAUGH, SHE MAKES US CRY."
-Richmond Times-Dispatch

"TRIGIANI CAN MAKE YOU LAUGH IN ONE SENTENCE
THEN BREAK YOUR HEART THE NEXT.
Her Big Stone Gap series is sure to become the next Mitford."
-The Clarion-Ledger (Jackson, MS)

"This novel shares the strengths of Big Stone Gap. Its dialogue is perfectly tuned to the speech of Southwest Virginia. Its settings-a mountain town in Virginia and a mountain town in Italy-are portrayed accurately, with beautiful detail. Its pace never lags for a moment. Big Cherry Holler builds on these strengths and moves to a more involving emotional level."
-Richmond Times-Dispatch

"Recommended . . . This novel of love and forgiveness delivers its story in a believable manner. Ave Maria remains someone readers would like to know, and Iva Lou, her librarian friend, still has her finger on the pulse of Mars/Venus relationships in this neck of the woods."
-Library Journal

"Trigiani provides plenty of colorful scenery, whether she's traversing the Appalachians or the Alps. Her narrative canters along at a lively pace, and her supporting characters, especially Iva Lou and Fleeta, supply comic relief."
-The State (Columbia, SC)

"Big Cherry Holler is every bit as engaging as its predecessor is and bittersweet. Trigiani fans will want more pages to turn."
-Style Weekly (Richmond, VA)
