Starred Kirkus Review for History of a Disappearance

“An evocative study of a town in Poland’s outback, one scarcely known even in its day…. Lucid and literate: a brilliant model of historical writing about place and a beguiling treat for armchair travelers as well.”

—Kirkus, starred review

“I call this a great book, a superb work of intelligence, originality, and tremendous enterprise.”

—Katharine A. Powers, Barnes & Noble Review
