Newsday named it one of the best books of 2006, writing, “The bleak, beautiful and deftly plotted stories […] are like nothing out there, taking as their theme the collateral damage of Nazism, delivered in many cases with an O. Henry twist.” Karen R. Long gave the book a glowing review in the Cleveland Plain Dealer, writing that, in these stories, the Holocaust “is the smoldering demon that reaches across generations, scraping its talons into the interior lives of children and grandchildren who were, metaphorically and literally, left in the dark.” It was also named a notable book of the year by the San Francisco Chronicle.
