Review Quotes:
"Mark Helprin's sprawling new novel, In Sunlight and in Shadow, uses language, not music, to conduct the swelling themes of at least half a dozen Oscar-winning films to lyric crescendos. Passionate, earnest, nostalgic, and romantic in multiple senses of the word, it resurrects with throat-catching regret and nickel-gleam luster the automats and assumptions of the America of the 1940s, both the sets and the sensibilities."
