Reviews

This beautiful book is a song to courage and kindness, voices raised in cheerfulness faced with the hollowness of hope. It's about the dignity and spirit that frees a prisoner from despair, a deeply felt prayer and yet somehow--amazingly--a rousing hymn. I loved every note. --Tim Wynne-Jones, award-winning author of The Emperor of Any Place Fascinating piece of history. --Kirkus Reviews So well-told and compelling...It is the sort of novel that will engage and inform grown-up readers as well. Highly Recommended. --CM: Canadian Review of Materials
