"An emotional thriller on an important subject. Deep research propels the story, its finely etched characters intrigued me, and the element of the love story with its twist at the end smoothed what is really quite disturbing subject matter. An exciting and illuminating read."

-Martin Fletcher, Former Foreign Correspondent NBC News, and author of The List

"Crisp, original, unforgettable. The Interpreter is a flashlight piercing the dark shadows of American history. Sidransky is a born storyteller."

-Diana Spechler, author of Who by Fire and Skinny

"By turns thrilling, uplifting, shocking, and heartwarming, The Interpreter takes you on parallel emotional rollercoaster rides through a harrowing escape from Nazi-controlled Austria and the dirty backroom deals made by desperate spies in a world on the brink of the Cold War. A must-read."

-Erica Obey, author of The Horseman's Word

"The Interpreter makes you feel like you're there, in the crush of refugees fleeing Nazi-occupied Europe, carrying false papers and waiting for the SS to grab you, terrified of being recognized and wondering what you'd be willing to do to survive. The novel's vivid prose and surreal images are reflected in today's headlines, particularly the shameful treatment of asylum seekers on our shores and the cruel policy of separating families at the border. This novel is a powerful plea to gedenk, to remember what we lost."

-Kenneth Wishnia, editor of Jewish Noir, author of The Fifth Servant

"Sidransky has written a powerful story about the ravages of war, a tale of love and loss, of hate and revenge and the struggle to hold onto one's humanity in an inhumane world."

-Jeff Markowitz, author of Death and White Diamonds

"A gripping thriller with stunning twists, The Interpreter is also history and the cure for any number of lies about the Holocaust."

-Albert Tucher, author of The Same Mistake Twice and The Honorary Jersey Girl
