Critical Praise

"Richly atmospheric and satisfying."

——USA Today

"Densely atmospheric and genuinely romantic, the novel is most reminiscent of the Hollywood films of the forties, when moral choices were rendered not in black-and-white but in smoky shades of gray."

——The New Yorker

"[Furst] glides gracefully into an urbane pre–World War II Europe and describes that milieu with superb precision."

——The New York Times
