Diane Ackerman has been the finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for Nonfiction in addition to many other awards and recognitions for her work, which include the best-selling The Zookeeper's Wife and A Natural History of the Senses. She lives in Ithaca, New York.
"Here is a true story—of human empathy and its opposite—that is
simultaneously grave and exuberant, wise and playful. Ackerman has
a wonderful tale to tell, and she tells it wonderfully."
*Washington Post Book World*
"Poignant…This is an absorbing book."
*New York Times Book Review*
"I can’t imagine a better story or storyteller. The Zookeeper’s
Wife will touch every nerve you have."
*Jonathan Safran Foer, author of Everything is Illuminated*
"It is no stretch to say that this is the book Ackerman was meant
to write."
*Los Angeles Times*
"Diane Ackerman has surpassed even herself in her latest book,
which is alternatingly funny, moving, and terrifying. This powerful
thriller would be a great novel—except that it is true."
*Jared Diamond*
