Alfaro's sharp, witty writing style is reminiscent of a wisecracking reporter Hildy Johnson in the Ben Hecht comedy His Girl Friday or even the ultimate wit - Miss Dorothy Parker herself. ~ Silver Birch Press\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA wonderful reflection on the life of an artist and poet, Mirror Talk is both a comforting read for a rainy day and a journey of self-discovery not to be missed. Alfaro provides us with our own opportunity to remember how we became who we are today. Her robust memories are topped with a welcoming layer of nostalgia that allows the reader to feel the waves of Rockaway Beach lapping at our toes while we look back fondly on life's moments of hilarity. ~ IndieReader\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Barbara Alfaro","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47157539832048,"sku":"2940046197464","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940046197464_p0.jpg?v=1763999338","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940046197464","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
