The perspective of a black man in a concentration camp is unique and harrowing and this is a riveting, worthwhile read." "McFadden's writing breaks the heart-and then heals it again. This is a story about the triumph of the human spirit over bigotry, intolerance and cruelty, and at the center of The Book of Harlan is the restorative force that is music."
"Simply miraculous.As her saga becomes ever more spellbinding, so does the reader's astonishment at the magic she creates. "McFadden uses the experiences of her own ancestors as loose inspiration for the life of Harlan, whom she portrays from his childhood in Harlem through imprisonment in a Nazi concentration camp and his struggles afterward to put his life back together."
