JOANNA HERSHON The paperback edition
of THE GERMAN BRIDE has recently been released. One of the Best Books
of 2008 --THE WASHINGTON POST One of the 25 cultural highlights of 2008 --VOGUE One of the Best Books of 2008 --NPR To the many expressions of this
threshold experience in American immigration literature, by authors from Anzia Yezerskia to Jhumpa Lahiri, Hershon adds an eloquent voice. --THE WASHINGTON POST Joanna Hershon had the inspired idea to set her
novel among the German-born merchants and traders who in the middle of the 19th century left Europe for the raw possibilities
of the American West. --THE
NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW ...an
imaginative take on the 19th-century American frontier story. --THE BOSTON GLOBE An elegantly written historical novel... --VANITY
FAIR Ms. Hershon succeeds in spinning a devastatingly realistic tale of a young
life defined by loss — and, ultimately, by resilience. --THE NEW YORK SUN At
once lyrical and heartbreaking...A beautifully written tale of small sufferings and redemptions. --Kirkus
(Starred Review) "Joanna Hershon's new book, The German Bride, is a surprising novel of grace and refinement. It is a tale of
the American West, but unlike any I have ever read before. She enters Willa Cather territory and does it with a rare elegance
and complete originality. I was not familiar with Joanna Hershon's work when I read this novel and it made me order her
first two books." ––Pat Conroy, author of The Prince of Tides  |
