I heard the author do an essay on NPR recently and while the global themes of family feuds and estrangement were compelling, the backdrop of Sweet 'N Low was a little surreal. I'm glad to hear you say this works better in the book. I'll look for it!
I appreciate the great service that the "diet sugar" (as a friend calls it) producers have done for the diabetics of the world.
