"This is a book of overwhelming power and intensity, David
Grossman's masterpiece. Flaubert created his Emma, Tolstoy made his
Anna, and now we have Grossman's Ora--as fully alive, as fully
embodied, as any character in recent fiction. I devoured this long
novel in a feverish trance. Wrenching, beautiful, unforgettable."
--Paul Auster
"Very rarely, a few times in a lifetime, you open a book and when
you close it again nothing can ever be the same. Walls have been
pulled down, barriers broken, a dimension of feeling, of existence
itself, has opened in you that was not there before. "To the End of
the Land "is a book of this magnitude. David Grossman may be the
most gifted writer I've ever read; gifted not just because of his
imagination, his energy, his originality, but because he has access
to the unutterable, because he can look inside a person and
discover the unique essence of her humanity. For twenty-six years
he has been writing novels about what it means to defend this
essence, this unique light, against a world designed to extinguish
it. "To the End of the Land" is his most powerful, shattering, and
unflinching story of this defense. To read it is to have yourself
taken apart, undone, touched at the place of your own essence; it
is to be turned back, as if after a long absence, into a human
being." --Nicole Krauss
