Long Summer Nights

"Long Summer Nights is a text full of profound melancholy woven with joy in which the author delivers all his wisdom. A novel in the form of a testament." --Nathalie Riché, L'Expres
PRAISE FOR ADAM & THOMAS:
"Deeply moving and powerful: unforgettable." --Kirkus Reviews
"A fine addition to elementary and middle school libraries looking for tender friendship and survival stories set during the second World War." --School Library Journal
"Adam and Thomas is at once a finely wrought fable and a realistic tale of survival--a tale of resourcefulness, of friendship, of the kindness of strangers, of the mysterious ways of fate. It's a book that shows us how sheer will and hope can sustain life in the direst of circumstances. It's a book that teaches us to marvel at simple miracles: a piece of bread, a sip of milk, the sight of a familiar dog. Most of all it's a story of generosity, one that suggests that the act of giving may be as necessary to our survival as food or drink. Thank you, Mr. Appelfeld, for the gift of this magical book." --Julie Orringer, author of The Invisible Bridge
"Aharon Appelfeld is a living legend, an artistic giant who has distilled his personal experience of absolute evil into a pure and powerful art." --Dara Horn, author of The World to Come and A Guide for the Perplexed
