Recenzii

“Illuminating. . . . Birnbaum skillfully delineates the social and political tensions shaping a culture caught between the national interests of Germany and Russia, and he poignantly conveys the plight of individuals for whom each day is a potential tragedy waiting to happen. This auspicious debut makes for an appealing drama.” — Publishers Weekly
“The author is a descendant of the historical Dr. B., and the novel follows the facts of his life and incorporates historical characters into a very accomplished and appealing portrait of Stockholm. . . . A moving evocation of a life beset by conflicts in a troubled time.” — Kirkus Reviews
“This complexly plotted, fact-based tale filled with shadowy characters and unlikely coincidences is an altogether engaging piece of literary historical fiction.” — Library Journal

“[Birnbaum’s] atmospheric novel mixes fact and fiction to tell a tense tale of spies and refugees. . . . This vivid portrait of wartime in neutral Stockholm, known as the Nordic Casablanca, depicts a lively city filled with spies, intellectuals and refugees. Its glamour is tarnished, however, by the growing anti-Semitism that thrived in what was called a ‘neutral’ country.”   — Washington Post
