Story Behind The Book

Four women were the inspiration behind Not a Word about Love – four of my closest friends. I hope you enjoy reading this book, at least as much as I enjoyed writing it.

<div><span style="font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);">&quot;Pure pleasure. Contemporary, flowing and fluid language. That is the greatness of Goldberg. She draws her characters with such precision it feels like you can actually touch them. I fell in love with the character as she grew and transformed from a spineless creature to a courageous woman. Goldberg's writing style is rich with nuance and humor, and while reading I found myself smiling more than once and laughing out loud up to the point of tears many times.‎</span><span style="font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);">&quot; </span></div> <div style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255);"> <div style="font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;"><b><i>Women's World</i></b></div> <div> <div> </div> <div style="font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;">&quot;Witty writing, sharp dialogue and clever metaphors. Thrilling from beginning to end‎ without it being at the expense of‎ a tight and elegant plot, with fluent, precise and effective language. A huge bestseller!&quot; </div> <div> <div style="font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;"><b><i>Yediot Achronot - Largest daily newspaper in Israel</i></b></div> <div> </div> <div><font face="verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">&quot;I can see why this novel has been so popular. It's funny, sensual, frank, and very open. The nightmarish quality of some of the passages, like the jet-ski accident, contrast very well with the sassy humour and the dialogue sounds really natural. I'm really impressed at the quality of the modern idioms in it too. It's very entertaining and I really enjoyed it - sharp observations, and great humour... a cracking read! </font></div> </div> </div> <div style="font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;"><b><i>Julie Phelps, literary editor, United Kingdom</i></b></div> </div> <div> <p dir="rtl"> </p> </div>
