"Simply miraculous . . . This is a story about the triumph of the
human spirit over bigotry, intolerance and cruelty, and at the
center of The Book of Harlan is the restorative force that is
music."
“McFadden packs a powerful punch with tight prose and short
chapters that bear witness to key events in early twentieth-century
history . . . McFadden presents a remarkably crisp portrait of one
average man’s extraordinary bravery in the face of pure evil."
