“The book’s plot is stunningly original, offering a main character
with deep complexities whose opacity seems understandable… a
fast-paced, riveting read… a searingly unique and thought-provoking
tale.”
—The Jerusalem Post
"What happens when you lose everything? This radiant debut gets at
the dark beating heart of survival, set against a backdrop of
differing geography, beliefs, cultures, and races, in prose as
intricate as a jazz fugue. Blazingly original and fiercely smart, A
Narrow Bridge shows that who we love is really who we are."
— Caroline Leavitt, New York Times–bestselling author of Cruel
Beautiful World and Pictures of You
"I couldn't put this book down, beginning by being drawn in by one
of the most compelling first lines I have ever read. This
multicultural debut is about two very different people, from very
diverse circumstances and backgrounds....Ultimately, this is a
beautiful examination of human connection and finding a reason to
live again after all hope is gone."
— Terry Gilman, owner of Mysterious Galaxy bookstore and a
prominent book-event manager
"A Narrow Bridge is a moving story about the intersection between
love and loss and an unsentimental exploration of the role of faith
in healing. I held my breath until the very last word of this
cinematic, compassionate, and compelling debut."
— Michelle Brafman, author of Bertrand Court and Washing the
Dead
"A gripping, heartbreaking, ultimately uplifting story of two
broken people and the healing power of love. Beautifully drawn, the
writing keeps you riveted page after fast-turning page."
—Jeffrey Richman, six-time Emmy-winning executive producer of
Modern Family and Frasier
“An enjoyable, optimistic novel about how people — despite
cultural, religious and racial differences — can find comfort in
each other’s common humanity. It makes for very fine reading.”
—San Diego Jewish World
"A beautifully written, imaginative, and poignant testimony to the
power of love and the limits of faith."
— Steven Z. Leder, senior rabbi at Wilshire Boulevard Temple in Los
Angeles and author of The Extraordinary Nature of Ordinary Things
