"The Nesting Dolls is a vividly rendered, sweeping historical novel.

I absolutely devoured this compulsively readable gem of a novel." (Jillan Cantor, USA Today bestselling author of The Lost Letter and In Another Time)

"A moving saga of three generations of women determined to triumph over the forces of history no matter the cost. The Nesting Dolls is memorable story of courage that is both inspiring and bittersweet." (David R. Gillham, New York Times bestselling author of City of Women and Annelies)

"The author's wry Soviet-Jewish humor enlivens the well-developed characters, who make fatal mistakes as well as selfless sacrifices. This is a satisfying, life-affirming saga." - Publisher's Weekly

"The novel adds a degree of nuance to a historical narrative that is often flattened: It depicts some of the subtleties and complexities of being a Jew in the Soviet Union, offering a partial corrective to the frequent oversimplification of a chapter of history that is anything but simple." - The Kirkus Review

"The book contains several obscenities directed at Stalin." - World Magazine
