Recenzii
"This book is Dita's song, and she deserves it." --Washington Post
"Lustig regularly reserves his surest touch, his greatest insight, for the lives of children who've survived the Holocaust. . . . A graceful, sad book with a namesake character worthy of the loving attention Lustig has given her." --Kirkus Reviews
"A memorable portrait of a complex young woman."
