A vivid and resplendent novel for our time." --Elaine Neil Orr, critically acclaimed author of Swimming Between Worlds "Rao's resonant novel is an ode to the value of personal dignity and the importance of being true to oneself that carries on long after the final chapter." -- Newsweek magazine, 2021 American Fiction Award: Winner A 2021 Georgia Author of the Year Award Finalist 2021 International Book Awards, Finalist: Women's Fiction 2021 International Book Awards, Finalist: Multicultural Fiction Featured in Travel + Leisure's "20 Most-anticipated Books for Fall" "20 Classic and New Books About Feminism That Will Get You Thinking and Talking" Parade "A moving and polished novel that highlights Rao's literary promise." Kirkus Reviews "Rao's resonant novel is an ode to the value of personal dignity and the importance of being true to oneself that carries on long after the final chapter." Newsweek magazine " Purple Lotus is the Atlanta novel you need to be reading this year... Tara is probably one of the strongest characters you'll find in Southern fiction." --ArtsATL "I'd recommend it to people who are fans of the expansive storytelling of Tayari Jones... and then to anyone who wants to add to their bookshelf of growing Atlanta literature." --PANK Magazine "The dazzling tale of an Indian-American woman finding her way through the labyrinth of tradition to self-awareness in the modern world.

A vivid and resplendent novel for our time." Elaine Neil Orr, critically acclaimed author of Swimming Between Worlds, "A mesmerizing kaleidoscope of stories about displacement, finding home, and the kindness of strangers. Haunting and heartfelt." --Fiona Davis, national best-selling author of The Chelsea Girls"From Vienna during the Anschluss to booming post-war Columbus, Linda Kass has done her homework. Half historical novel, half family saga, A Ritchie Boy will charm readers who loved All the Light We Cannot See." --Stewart O'Nan, author of A World Away"Linda Kass's eagerly anticipated second novel, A Ritchie Boy , is an engrossing, deeply moving story of the immigrant journey, a profound and timely reminder of how refugees have woven their strengths, talents, successes, and sacrifices into the fabric of America." --Jennifer Chiaverini, New York Times best-selling author of Resistance Women "A Ritchie Boy interweaves characters from Kass's first novel, Tasa's Song--providing a rich context of place and perseverance during the darkness surrounding World War II. The everyday human spirit is unmasked by the revelation of profound life experiences in this engaging tale that will appeal to public library customers." --Patrick Losinski, CEO, Columbus Metropolitan Library"Linda Kass's A Ritchie Boy is a splendid gathering of memorable characters and stories about what it takes to leave a home, to travel to a new country, and to find a way to not only survive there, but to thrive. This story of persistence will warm you with its indomitable belief in family and in love." --Lee Martin, author of Pulitzer Prize finalist The Bright Forever"Filled with rich historical detail and strikingly beautiful turns of phrase, this novel-in-stories moved me, inspired me, and transported me to a different time and place the way only the best tales do. Linda Kass is a masterful storyteller with a knack for taking hold of the reader's heart simply, gently, in a way that makes it easy to be swept away by her words. I highly recommend A Ritchie Boy."--Kristin Harmel, international best-selling author of The Room on Rue Amelie and The Winemaker's Wife"Historical fiction is a literary time machine. Thanks to the talent and imagination of Linda Kass, this journey back to the tragic days of World War II is both solemn and joyous - solemn because of the ghastly shadow of Nazism overtaking Europe, and joyous because of the forces of light that rose up to oppose it. These linked stories create a seamless and poignant whole, a deeply felt, richly described, and quietly moving meditation on faith, passion, sacrifice, struggle, and the everlasting power of family love." --Julia Keller, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and author of Sorrow Road "How did a whole generation of the Jews who were lucky enough to escape Hitler manage to re-invent themselves in America? In A Ritchie Boy , Linda Kass lovingly explores the spirit and the process of one such transformation. A compelling story of empathy, resilience, and the power of the American Dream.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
