The Plum Tree will find good company on the shelves of those who appreciated Skeletons at the Feast, by Chris Bohjalian, Sarah's Key, by Tatiana de Rosnay, and Night, by Elie Wiesel.' NY Journal of Books'The meticulous handcrafted detail and emotional intensity of The Plum Tree immersed me in Germany during its darkest hours and the ordeals its citizens had to face. A mustread for WWII Fiction aficionadosand any reader who loves a transporting story.' Jenna Blum, New York Times bestselling author of Those Who Save Us'Wiseman eschews the genre's usual military conflicts of daily life during wartime, lending an intimate and compelling poignancy to this intriguing debut.' Publishers Weekly'Ellen Marie Wiseman weaves a story of intrigue, terror, and love from a perspective not often seen in Holocaust novels.' Jewish Book World'A haunting and beautiful debut novel.'
