Praise
Praise for People of the Book:
“There’s romance between Brooks and the world, and her writing is as full of heart and curiosity as it is intelligence and judgement.”
—The Boston Globe
“Intelligent, thoughtful, gracefully written, and original . . . Brooks tells a believable and engaging story.”
—The Washington Post
“Intense, gripping . . . People of the Book, like her Pulitzer Prize–winning previous novel March, is a tour de force that delivers a reverberating lesson gleaned from history. . . . It’s a brilliant, innately suspenseful structure, and one that allows Brooks to show off her remarkable aptitude for assimilating research and conveying a wide range of settings. Also on full display is her keen sense of dramatic pacing.”
—San Francisco Chronicle
“[A] marvelously intertwined narrative, with one strand tied to the contemporary world and the other leading us back into European history, into wars and inquisitions and family tragedies, all of this making up avidly narrated, powerfully emotional quest.”
—The Dallas Morning News
“Richly imagined and at times almost unbearably exciting. . . . An ambitious book, a pleasure to read, and wholly successful in its attempt to give a sense of how miraculous, unlikely, and ultimately binding the history of objects can be.”
—Star Tribune (Minneapolis)
