“ Readers will find Dana’s takes on committee microdramas, factions, and vagaries of church and friendship relatable. Food lovers will enjoy Dana’s restaurant visits and detailed food descriptions. The book’s finale is a collection of AUUC members’ signature recipes, a pleasing finish to this fresh work by award-winning novelist and food journalist Huneven.”
“Huneven shows her range with a folksy, funny fifth novel on the unlikely subject of how bad decisions happen to good committees. . . engaging and thought-provoking. The voting, the vetting, the drama, the discord, the anti-oppression training—it’s all here. . . tender, salty, and worthy of note.”
“I’ve loved every book Michelle Huneven has written and Search is the best—the most delectable—yet.””
“I was utterly charmed by Huneven’s characters, who reminded me of the best work of Tom Drury and, perhaps unsurprisingly, Laurie Colwin. But Huneven’s wit and wisdom are all her own. Search is a sumptuous novel, well worth savoring.”
