Book Summary and Reviews of Sweet and Low by Rich Cohen

Media Reviews

"Cohen is one talented storyteller, and Sweet and Low is a great read." - Library Journal.
"Cohen can't quite decide what kind of book he's writing: He offers a mini-history of sugar here, confusing family history there. But at its best, sardonically dissecting an unlikely success, it spins gold." - Kirkus.
"Cohen mines a wealth of family history in this funny, angry, digressive memoir." - PW.
