But it is, absolutely.Fascinating." - Madeline Miller, NPR The tone is clever, witty, casually postmodern.Captivating." - James Wood, The New Yorker "Binet has threaded his novel with a contemporary story, which is the drama of the book's own making. "Brings a raw truth to an extraordinary act of resistance.A literary tour de force.A gripping novel that brings us closer to history as it really happened." - Alan Riding, The New York Times Book Review ![]()
