A brilliant debut novel with a depth and warmth reminiscent of Maeve Binchy.

(Jeanne Ray, author of Julie and Romeo) Wonderful! A tour de force, written with depth and insight, Cover the Butter is funny, poignant and page-turningly original. (Katie Fforde, author of Thyme Out) Kabaks wisdom, compassion, and wit make this a book you dont want to put down. A gem! (Bonnie Shimko, author of Letters in the Attic)
