Starred Booklist review

Today on Booklist, a starred review for The Book of Esther from Donna Seaman, a reviewer who really gets the whole project. I’m so excited and grateful!

An excerpt: “Barton’s audacious tale of an otherwordly uprising against the Nazis is a wild pageant of tumult and valor, magic and inventiveness, which, for all its humor, sensuality, steampunk brio, and full-tilt military action, is profoundly inquisitive. […] With intimations of Cynthia Ozick and Michael Chabon, Barton is spellbinding and provocative in this refulgent, topsy-turvy, questing fantasy, a mettlesome response to anti-Semitism and the forever-haunting Holocaust.”
