“Penetrating [and] evocative but also honest and wholly unsentimental. . . . Trains of Thought, as well as being a singular memoir, is a work of not-inconsiderable art.” —The Washington Post Book World
“Brombert writes with grace and balance. . . . [H]is story of his time in battle is as riveting as anything by Stephen Ambrose.” — The Boston Globe
“[R]ich in descriptions of intimate domestic existence, memories of youthful thought, and experience of a social world defined by fine manners, high culture and extravagant freedoms.” — San Francisco Chronicle
“Splendid . . . Brombert has achieved a luminous contemplative style. . . . A permanent addition to the literature of expatriation.” — The New York Times Book Review
“Beautifully written. . . . [Brombert] tells his story neatly and directly.”— Los Angeles Times Book Review
“Victor Brombert has . . . lots of charm. . . . It is impossible not to like [the book] and him.” — The New York Review of Books
“Lavishly detailed. . . . Rich in descriptions. . . . Sounds, smells, tastes—the child’s universe is rendered closely and very fully.” — San Francisco Chronicle
“[Brombert] writes with brio and a sense of elegy, in command of every last scrap of cherished detail. He is a guardian of the flame, or one of those whom Stendhal called “the Happy Few.” — The New Criterion
“Striking. . . . A beautifully written book.”— The Times Literary Supplement (London)
“Elegant and absorbing. . . . An inspiring achievement.” — The Guardian (London)
“Fascinating. . . . Wonderfully evocative. . . . This is not only an extraordinary story but a very candid examination of a life.” — The Jewish Quarterly (UK)
“An impressionistic, Proustian memoir. . . . Brombert’s prose sings. . . . Truthful and beautiful.” — The New York Sun
“Compelling, lyrical, allusive, and engaging. . . . A book readers will not want to put down.” — Choice
“Intelligent and beautifully written.” — Jewish Chronicle (UK)
“Ranging from lush to poignant to erotic to horrifying. . . . A brilliant memoir illuminating a rich and complex life.” — Kirkus Reviews (starred)
“Evocative and luminous, a book to be savored.”— Booklist
“Perceptive and ruminative. . . . There is much to be learned from this splendid and eminently readable memoir.”— Trenton Times
