Review
It is no stretch to say that this is the book Ackerman was meant to write.
An exemplary work of scholarship and an 'ecstasy of imagining.'
A lovely story about the Holocaust might seem like a grotesque oxymoron. But in ?The Zookeeper's Wife?, Diane Ackerman proves otherwise. Here is a true story... that is simultaneously grave and exuberant, wise and playful. Ackerman has a wonderful tale to tell, and she tells it wonderfully.
I can't imagine a better story or storyteller. ?The Zookeeper's Wife ?will touch every nerve you have. --Jonathan Safran Foer
Diane Ackerman has surpassed even herself in her latest book, which is alternatingly funny, moving, and terrifying. This powerful thriller would be a great novel except that it is true. --Jared Diamond
