I have just finished listening to the audio that Pierrette has kindly made available on this site. To read her book cannot be enough, a person simply has to listen to this cd. I am filled with such pride that Pierrette sent me this link. It is a pure pleasure and a great treasure to be able to speak from my heart and praise her wonderful gift, for she is without doubt an authors author.

I have not had the pleasure of meeting Ms. Komarek in person, however, I have spent the past several months chatting with Pierrette on an authors message board and via email. What an amazing woman! My admiration for her has since grown stronger since listening to her life's story on these audio tapes. Pierrette's story is heartwarming, funny, and oh so real! She has a way with words that will make you feel like you were a part of her life's experiences. Thanks to the publisher(s) for finely bringing Ms. Komarek's work out for public viewing!

One of the most wonderful things to happen to me, in my entire life, was meeting, staying and working with Pierrette on her autobiography, Le Cafe De Cadix.

I normally don't do this type of thing, but I loved her story so dearly, and knew that no one could tell the story as she could, so I flew up to Pennsylvania to help her record the audio book at home. And BOY was I glad I did. [Read More!]

Words cannot express the respect and love I feel for my Grandmere when I listen to her read her writing. Hearing her read her words aloud add so much to this story. How lucky I am to come from such a rich history. Thank you Grandmere, for sharing this story with so many. December 26, 2004 | Laurel

After reading Pierrette's fascinating, revealing, amusing, delightful book, I didn't think I could be more pleased, but this is a unique piece of artistry. Voices are so important, if only because there are so few pleasant ones. Pierrette might have been an actress! To hear so many trenchant and funny and wise remarks in her dulcet tones is a special treat. I hope she will have as many listeners as readers. She deserves every one.

One of the things I am most thankful for in writing my own book is my contact with Pierrette Komarek. In this world of humdrum thoughts and communication, she is a refreshing voice to be heard. It is obvious why her family is so very proud of their "Grandmere" with the beautiful story she has written in book and now shares in her own charismatic style (with just a touch of charming accent).

I didn't know Angel's had such beautiful accents. I shall rest peaceful tonight after listening to Pierrette's book.

Dear Pierrette, I started listening to your book this afternoon. You are a true storyteller. The world of sound and music means so much more to me these days, and your melodic voice truly creates a "theatre of the mind." I'm sure that your parents are so proud of you for insuring that they will live forever in the stories you tell of them.
Take care and God Bless You.

Le Cafe de Cadix, by Pierrette Lili Camps Komarek. Listen to streaming audio here.

Le Cafe de Cadix is the author narrated, humorous and touching memoirs of a "pied noir", a French Algerian, named Pierrette Lili Camps Komarek.

It is, in many ways, a tribute to her mother and father, Rose and Salvador, two orphans who, against all odds, raised 2 girls, 2 twin boys (one of which was mentally handicapped and blind), and daily lived the biblical truth "love your neighbor as yourself", even while trying to survive the Depression and the War.
