“A lyrical, sad and beautifully rendered story about the power of family love and the intrusions of time, place and history . . . Liselotte Hurwitz, beautiful and gifted . . . [was] the privileged daughter of a famous medical doctor in Vienna, her parents escaped the Nazis early and settled in a pretty Westchester town . . . Later, Lise . . . has a seemingly happy family of her own. But . . . when her son Arthur . . . dies, Lise unravels. . . . [and] it’s up to her daughter, Diny, to reconstruct and redeem her mother’s half-submerged emotional life. . . . one of the most attractive things about this attractive novel is its loving description of the [Hudson], its lore and its effect as a mirror and consoler of the lives of the novel’s sturdy, vivid, and affecting characters.” — Kirkus Reviews, starred review
“Can madness . . . result from the deepest desire . . . for order and continuity, for the security and protection of those whom one most loves? In a novel of ever-growing emotional intensity, Silman demonstrates the effect of the violence . . . of our century upon a family that early fled Nazi pogroms . . . The river serves as leitmotif of the major character’s fears and longings . . . and resonates in the reader’s own psyche; for Lise . . . tells us much about ourselves . . . [becoming] ‘universal’ at the moment she begins to question her own sanity. The novel has drama and suspense, magnitude and integrity . . .” —James McConkey, author of Court of Memory
