    What do reviewers say about Sofia and Joy?

    It arrives like a declaration, then settles into something far more interesting. The dramatic opening is half the story, what happens next is controlled, honeyed warmth that stays close.Sofia
    Joy doesn't ask permission. It was born to be too much, too floral, too opulent, too present, and that's exactly why people keep reaching for it ninety years later.Joy
