A Thread of Grace

Taking on a completely different genre from her flagship, The Sparrow, A Thread of Grace is set in the Holocaust. Improbably enough, Doria Russell manages to make a Thread of Grace stand apart from the myriad of books that had previously been written in the setting. She brings her signature touches of a gift for character development and a canny ability to make her reader see every side of an issue, with heavy helping of moral greyness and questionable means to get to still questionable ends.
Doria Russell will long be remembered as one of the epic novelists of our time.
