Reviews
"A truly intriguing mystery...Ozick brings off effects comparable to those of Isaac Bashevis Singer, who can persuade the reader to believe the incredible" -- D. J. Enright, The New York Review of Books "An arresting, original puzzle of a novel...The orphan desperate to know his father, a familiar theme of fairy tales and myths, is made magical once again." -- People "A spellbinding novel...The Messiah of Stockholm reaffirms Cynthia Ozick's position as one of the finest and most imaginative writers of our time." -- St. Louis Post-Dispatch "Intrigues and entertains...weaves a tale that is richly, intensely imagined." -- Anne Tyler, The New Republic "A striking book...Ozick writes with ferocious imaginative drive." -- Boston Globe "A magician...a literary alchemist...a brilliant wordsmith." -- USA Today
