«A small wonder of a book . . . A particular historical moment, one that cannot be told too often»
Guardian
«The Holocaust as a subject insists on respect, precludes criticism, prefers silence. One thing is clear: this book will not go gently into any good night»
Observer
«An extraordinary tale of friendship and the horrors of war . . . Raw literary talent at its best»
Irish Independent
«A book that lingers in the mind for quite some time . . . A subtle, calculatedly simple and ultimately moving story»
The Irish Times
«Simply written and highly memorable. There are no monstrosities on the page but the true horror is all the more potent for being implicit»
