"Most moving and impressive. Martin Goodman manages an original stance on what has become all too familiar - the 'Holocaust' novel - and has created something really worthwhile as a result. It is beautifully structured and has a distinctive and haunting tone. Altogether a very clever and memorable piece of work."- Simon Mawer, author of The Glass Room
"There is much to explore, from the orchestras established in the camps to the special treatment sometimes accorded to to talented musicians and the impact the Nazis had on Europe's rich musical culture. The parts of the novel set in Dachau, Buchenwald, Terezíiacute;n and Auschwitz ring with a visceral truth, and real figures such as Herbert Zimmer, who established a secret orchestra at Dachau, and Hans Kráaacute;sa - composer of the children's opera Brundibár get respectful supporting roles." - The Financial Times
"Looks squarely at the horrors of the 20th century, and old divisions that still fester...This is one powerful story that dares to hope, and shows the way to love."- Bonnie Greer
"A subtle novel that treads delicately around identity, values and life purpose."- The Hackney Citizen
"A wonderful story. A beautiful book about the unimaginable and what can grow from it." - Marina Mahler, granddaughter of the composer and founder and president of the Mahler Foundation.
