"I stayed up most of the night reading this book. I finally forced myself to put it down but the next night I stayed up late again and finished it. It is an amazing book; Almost instantly I could identify the author of each letter. And the book tells a story that is as quirky as any Northern Exposures episode. I loved it! I identified with each of the letter writers. I saw the interplay between the characters; I could actually see what was happening in my mind, especially the interactions between Joel and Maggie. If you are a NE fan I cannot recommend this book highly enough."

"For those of you who are true 'fans' of Northern Exposure, this book is definitely a must have! This book is as quirky as the original series. The reader gets an opportunity to see some of the insights and private thoughts of Cicilians as they write letters to various people outside of Cicily. As you read through the story that is made up of these letters, you can actually hear the characters 'talking'. Also, for those of you who watched Northern Exposure well into the 'Dr. Capra' era,remember a play that is briefly mentioned that Marice wanted to have performed, but something happened to cancel it? The story in this book explains what that reference was about."

"After reading this book I am really homesick for the  television series. In the Netherlands N.E. wasn't popular at all, they didn't even show all of the episodes! So reading a book that gives the exact sensation of watching an episode was a very nice experience for me"
