  • Praise for the Novels of Lauren Belfer
    PRAISE FOR THE NOVELS OF LAUREN BELFER Praise for And After the Fire “A ‘what if’ novel that begins in the glittering salons of Enlightenment-era Berlin where, beneath the surface, are sentiments too sinister to be named and culminating in New York present day, And After the Fire is an intellectual thriller and a beautiful love story. What if you came into possession of an historical artifact with the power to alter history and change the world? Sure to establish Belfer as a fearless, provocative writer. Impossible to put down.” —Sara Gruen, #1 New York Times bestselling author of At the Water’s Edge and Water for Elephants “Can any mortal adjective convey my adoration for this brilliant and mesmerizing story? Ask my friends: Since reading And After the Fire, I’ve been trumpeting it as the best novel I’ve had the pleasure of reading in years. Brava, Lauren Belfer. I thank you for this fascinating, virtuoso, unforgettable book.” —Elinor Lipman, New York Times bestselling author of Then She Found Me Praise for A Fierce Radiance All Things Considered/NPR Radio, Interview: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=128444970 “... the star attraction here is Belfer’s detailed depiction of wartime New York City as well as her evocation of the everyday terrors posed by pneumonia, scarlet fever and scraped elbows — now vastly diminished thanks to penicillin and other antibiotics.” —NPR.org “Belfer’s first novel, “City of Light,” delineated the social and political tension of Buffalo, N.Y., at the beginning of the age of electricity.
