Review:

“A brilliant novel. I am full of admiration.” (Philip Roth)

“Entrancing and mysterious...Krauss reflects with singing emotion and sagacity on Jewish history; war; the ancient, plundered forests of the Middle East; and the paradoxes of being. A resounding look at the enigmas of the self and the persistence of the past.” (Kirkus Reviews (starred review))

“Wildly imaginative, darkly humorous and deeply personal, this novel seems to question the very nature of time and space. Krauss commands our attention, and serious readers will applaud.” (Library Journal (starred review))

“Forest Dark finds Krauss at the top of her game. It is blazingly intelligent, elegantly written and a remarkable achievement.” (The Guardian)

“For all the ambitious scope of spiritual adventure and intellectual rumination, Forest Dark is most affecting in its quiet moments of domestic reflection.” (The Spectator (UK))

“The feelings Epstein and Nicole have about their lives and loves feel hard-earned and true...The resonances between these characters are often profound. Both are searching for their true selves, an ocean away from the old lives that have tested their faith.”                         (The Economist)

“Magnificent. . . . A richly layered masterpiece; creative, profound, insightful, deeply serious, effortlessly elegant, both human and humane. Krauss is a poet and a philosopher, and this latest work does what only the very best fiction can do—startles, challenges and enlightens the reader, while showing the familiar world anew.” (Financial Times)

“Forest Dark shares much in common with Philip Roth’s writing. Philosophical and intellectual, it explores identity, culture and the connections between the individual and history.” (Sunday Express (London))

“Strange and beguiling . . . a mystery that operates on grounds simultaneously literary and existential . . . metaphysical and emphatically realistic. . . . It’s a perfectly Kafkaesque vision, almost uncanny enough to be sublime.” (Harper's Magazine)

“Entrancing and mysterious . . . Krauss reflects with singing emotion and sagacity on Jewish history; war; the ancient, plundered forests of the Middle East; and the paradoxes of being. A resounding look at the enigmas of the self and the persistence of the past.” (Booklist (starred review))
