Reviews
Love blooms just as war tears two people apart . . . Kricorians rendering makes good on its promise of drama [and] . . . her heroines resilience is exciting. The New York Times Beautifully conjured . . . Kricorians touch is light, but the residual impact of war is nonetheless palpable. Eleanor J. Bader, In These Times Moving . . . With a bittersweet love story, examples of everyday heroism, and a community refusing to give in to tyrants, Kricorians work sheds even more light on the German occupation of France. Library Journal The first-person narrative nails the blend of daily detail and political history . . . An important addition to the WWII fiction shelves, this is bound to spark discussion. Booklist All the Light There Was offers a vivid picture of life for a minority family in occupied Paris, and author Kricorian effortlessly takes the reader from one year to the next . . . A pleasure to read. Historical Novel Society Immersive as quicksand. Portland Book Review Kricorians treatment of family dynamics and love under extreme circumstances creates an emotional read. Publishers Weekly Nancy Kricorian is a gem, her work subtle and nuanced and moving. All the Light There Was brings Nazi-occupied Paris vividly, tragically, and heroically to life.
