Reviews

PRAISE FOR "THE THINGS WE CHERISHED"

""The Things We Cherished "succeeds in opening a provocative window onto the continuing effort to bring Nazi war criminals to justice, and the complexities involved in making legal and moral judgments decades later. The still-vivid memory of the Holocaust energizes this ambitious, sweeping narrative, and Jenoff weaves together the disparate threads of a tale that is at once a historical mystery, a legal thriller, and a romance novel."--"The Philadelphia Inquirer"

"Further cements Jenoff's reputation for adeptly using the harsh realities of WWII Europe as a context for a timeless love story."--"Publishers Weekly"

"Pam Jenoff weaves an intriguing and intelligent story with a delicacy that is captivating. The triangular love stories are threaded together with skill and passion, while at the heart of the tale ticks the clock that holds the answers. Jenoff evokes in touching detail a significant point in twentieth-century history and makes it resonate for readers today."--Kate Furnivall, author of the national bestseller "The Russian Concubine"
