“Emotionally resonant and masterfully crafted.” — Kirkus Reviews Starred Review

“This verse novel has thematic and stylistic similarities to works by Kip Wilson and will be of interest to those seeking read-alikes, as well as lovers of classical music.” — School Library Journal

“Green conveys Helena’s anxieties and hopes in equal measure in lyrical free-verse passages that flow together like a musical composition.” — Horn Book

“Characters, places, and themes are introduced with superb fluidity in the book’s verses … this [is a] hopeful novel that does a beautiful job of illuminating a dark period of history.” — Foreword Reviews

“Poems carry the narrative, giving the book a very personal, introspective feel, impressing upon the reader the paranoia that many East Germans lived with after WWII.” — Booklist
