" A beautiful novel about the most odious of crimes and a deeply researched act of remembrance that somehow carries the lightness of a fairy tale. Mischling is one of the most harrowing, powerful, and imaginative books of the year."--Anthony Doerr.

"Her two narrators, twin sisters named Pearl and Sasha, [are] stuck in the nightmare of Auschwitz and Josef Mengele’s Zoo, a place where the infamous Nazi doctor performed grotesque human experiments. 'I didn’t want to obscure torment,” . . . 'but I wanted to show how someone would obscure torment in order to survive it.' From there, the book became a story of 'masking and then unmasking' as the girls try to navigate the horrors."--excerpt from an interview with the author by Benjamin Rybeck.
