Reviews
"Oh, what a book this is! Hoffman's exploration of the world of good and evil, and the constant contest between them, is unflinching; and the humanity she brings to us--it is a glorious experience. The book builds and builds, as she weaves together, seamlessly, the stories of people in the most desperate of circumstances--and then it delivers with a tremendous punch. It opens up the world, the universe, in a way that it absolutely unique. By the end you may be weeping." --ELIZABETH STROUT, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Olive Kitteridge "Alice Hoffman's new novel will break your heart, and then stitch it back together piece by piece. It's about love and loss, about history and the world today, about what happens when man goes against the laws of nature for good and for evil. It's my new favorite Hoffman book--and if you know how much I adore her writing, that's truly saying something." --JODI PICOULT, New York Times bestselling author of Small Great Things and A Spark of Light "A spellbinding portrait of what it means to be human in an inhuman world." -- KIRKUS REVIEWS (STARRED REVIEW) "An exceptionally voiced tale of deepest love and loss...one of [Hoffman's] finest. WWII fiction has glutted the market, but Hoffman's unique brand of magical realism and the beautiful, tender yet devastating way she explores her subject make this a standout." -- BOOKLIST (STARRED REVIEW) "One of America's most brilliant novelists since her debut, Property Of , Hoffman uses her signature element of magical realism to tackle an intolerably painful chapter in history. Readers know going in that their hearts will be broken, but they will be unable to let go until the last page." -- LIBRARY JOURNAL (STARRED REVIEW) "Page by page, paragraph by paragraph, sen- tence by sentence, The World That We Knew presents a breathtaking, deeply emotional odyssey through the shadows of a dimming world while never failing to convince us that there is light somewhere at the end of it all. This book feels destined to become a high point in an already stellar career." -- BOOKPAGE (STARRED REVIEW) "Set in Nazi-occupied France between 1941 and 1944, Hoffman's latest (after The Rules of Magic ) is a bittersweet parable about the costs of survival and the behaviors that define humanity." -- PUBLISHERS WEEKLY, "Oh, what a book this is!

WWII fiction has glutted the market, but Hoffman's unique brand of magical realism and the beautiful, tender yet devastating way she explores her subject make this a standout." -- BOOKLIST (STARRED REVIEW), "If you haven't already fallen under the spell of US author Alice Hoffman and her seductive brand of magical realism, then immerse yourself in her extraordinary new novel, a heartbreaking and utterly enthralling wartime odyssey which opens up a unique perspective on humanity and inhumanity amidst the horrors of the Holocaust....Hoffman's ingenious alchemy blends ancient Jewish folklore, spine-tingling supernatural, and gut-wrenching reality in an exquisite formula that shocks, enchants, and makes us weep." -- Lancashire Post, "Oh, what a book this is!
