A pacy, elegant book.

It is of paramount importance that well-researched, authoritative accounts of the Nazi era continue to be written. Anthony Read's study of Hitler's inner circle is just such one.

It's impossible to get through this inspiring and great-hearted volume dry-eyed, or without admiration for people who so bravely persevere through unimaginable hardship and privation.

Gives all the pain and pleasure of reading Anne Frank for the first time.

It holds you with the same intensity as The Diary of Anne Frank and leaves you heart-broken, illuminated, and amazed at the capacity for courage.

One of the best and most moving memoirs I have ever read.

Edith's Story, the memoir of an Anne Frank who lived, reminds us of the old horror all the more effectively bu not being a horror story. Evil and grief, without being scanted, are outshone by sweetness, freshness, and pluck.

A significant Holocaust memoir... A valuable opportunity to see the situation just outside Anne's attic.

A totally original comedy writer

A compelling account of the bloody and deluded last days of the Third Reich ... this is far from being of mere academic interest ... The greatest strength of Kershaw's narrative is that he gives us much more than the view from the top ... Interwoven are insights into German life and death at all levels of society

[Kershaw] understands as well as any man alive the complex power structure that existed in Nazi Germany ... Gripping ... arguably the most convincing portrait of Germany's Götterdämmerung we have seen so far

Britain's most feted and prolific historian of the Third Reich

[Kershaw] is among the foremost western scholars of Nazi Germany. Although this book pursues a narrative of events between June 1944 and May 1945, its real business is to explore the psychology of the German people

An insightful study of how the Führer held his grip over the German people for so long

Comprehensive ... it generates real power

Pulsing with imaginative energy, it displays Morrison’s veteran ability to combine physical and social immediacy with psychological and emotional subtlety. A fine addition to Morrison’s expansive chronicling of black American history, Home is a compact triumph.

A highly fractured tale intended to resemble the crumbling nature of Money’s existence post war. Nothing is over-laboured. Each word resounds with sultry, heat-oppressive Georgia.

Morrison's writing is so deft that even barely sketched characters leap off the page

Home is a powerful reminder of the impact the past plays on the present

Morrison can say more in one word than most novelists manage in an entire book. Superb

Bursting with poetic language and horrific events this is a penetrating insight to the African-American experience

It is a powerful set-up, building suspense and a mounting sense of anxiety

Toni Morrison’s mesmerising prose manages to be both elegiac and visceral at the same time
