"A Piece of Heaven belongs to the kind of novels that are irresistibly enjoyable to read because they are smart, tackle big, timeless and contemporary issues, and at the same time tell their story with force and lush dialogue." (Hansruedi Kugler, Basler Zeitung)

"Dean is a cool analyser of his characters. His novel is best when he does not reveal everything he knows about his characters. They do not then become more mysterious, but more tangible in their irrationality and contradictions, precisely because it is not possible to fully interpret why they do what they do." (Roman Bucheli, Neue Zürcher Zeitung)
