Descriptions, Reviews, etc.

Description: Pulsing with sound and rhythm, this story, set in New York in the 1940s, brilliantly evokes the life of a child prodigy whose genius pulls him out of squalor and into the drawing rooms of the rich and a gilt-edged marriage.

Review Quotes: "Beautifully written, and hypnotically readable...the best story I know of in a long, long time."

"Full of enchantment...a precise conjuring of an exceptional child's perceptions and feelings."
--Entertainment Weekly

"A big, old-fashioned book as satisfying as a fine evening at the symphony."
