Book Reviews
[E]ngrossing…. By evoking fictional characters and historical figures with equal vividness and wisely using repeated motifs (a Ravel piece, a prostitute, a club, a painting), George unites his narratives in a surprising yet wholly convincing denouement. Elegant and evocative.
Publishers Weekly


An artist, a writer, a puppeteer, and an author's intimate—the stories of these characters move back and forth in a beautiful dance. How they come together in the final movement is tres belle! George has captured the ethos of 1920s Paris… not to be missed. —Beth Gibbs, Davidson, NC
Library Journal


Enchanting…. Like the film Midnight in Paris… the novel has put us under the spell of the City of Light yet again…. Stunning.
Booklist


[A]tmospheric.… [T]he loose connections he creates among [the characters] seem at times… heavy-handed… [and the story] undermined by the flatness of the character development.…Still, the ambiguous ending will provide discussion fodder for reading groups.
