Praise for Debra Dean's critically acclaimed bestseller The Madonnas of Leningrad
[A] heartfelt debut. . . . Admirably humane. New York Times Book Review
An unforgettable story of love, survival, and the power of imagination in the most tragic circumstances. Elegant and poetic, the rare kind of book that you want to keep but you have to share.Isabel Allende

This sumptuously elegant and emotionally moving first novel . . . will linger with you long after you've finished it. . . . Exhilarating fiction . . . luminous and lovely throughout.Providence Journal
