Reviews/Praise
—AudioFile [Earphones Award Winner]
“Thorn charts the fates of the main characters through expert pacing and inflections that demonstrate his involving sensibility. An evocative and haunting novel.”
—Booklist
“The List is an elegantly written and evocative story of Holocaust survivors and what they faced after the war. Martin, always the journalist, dug into his family’s past to give us a novel that is at once instructive, darkly comic and ultimately inspiring.”
—Tom Brokaw
