Reviews
A portrait of a lost generation of idealists . . . densely packed with characters, ideological clashes and political narratives. The Washington Post
The sheer number of actors in this Jewish drama that stride across Sachars stage . . . is breathtaking. . . . An excellent book for those who wish to gain insight into the way we were. The Jerusalem Post
Dizzying in its complexity and breadth. . . . Sachar has a keen eye for historical detail, and a fine sense of narrative. Publishers Weekly
