Review
""This novel delivers. The style is lean, evocative, and highly readable. The characters are sympathetic and believable. The plot is a delicate thread as strong as a fishing line and as capable of reeling in." --Toronto Globe & Mail
"Intriguing, entertaining, compelling . . . an ingeniously conceived plot." --" Jewish Chronicle"
"What gives this wonderfully sparse book its tension and grasp are the clashes between two movements, like two cymbals being brought together. It speaks history, and one cannot stop listening." --John Berger, author," G" and "To the Wedding"
"Adroit and elegant. Read with horror and fascination." --Edmund White, author, "A Boy's Own Life" and "The Flaneur"
"Authentic. It's not the geography which haunts the story, but a search for missing daughters and fathers . . . skillfully transmits connections between individual and collective memory." --"Independent"
"This novel delivers. The style is lean, evocative, and highly readable. The characters are sympathetic and believable. The plot is a delicate thread as strong as a fishing line and as capable of reeling in." "--Toronto Globe & Mail"
