"Slam-bang.…superb." —
Washington PostTrade Review"Engrossing.…delicious." -- New York Times Book Review
"Vibrant and compelling." -- Ruth Andrew Ellenson - Los Angeles Times
"
All Other Nights has the propulsive, suspenseful narrative of an espionage thriller, but the novel stands out because of the larger moral dilemmas Horn weaves into an epic." -- Sarah Weinman - New York Post
"An enjoyably fast-paced amalgam of historical romance, spy novel and political thriller.…a rare and memorable portrait of Jewish life during the Civil War." -- Emily Bingham - Wall Street Journal
"An astonishing storyteller.…[an] extraordinary novel." -- Financial Times
"Riveting…written in meticulous but energetic prose…
All Other Nights interrogates and celebrates nationhood and freedom.…Conflating Jewish and American history, Horn’s third and most accomplished novel portrays Passover, the festival of freedom, amid the carnage caused by slavery. Horn’s lively, timely tale extends the range of American Jewish literature beyond familiar themes of immigration, assimilation and extermination." -- Steven G. Kellman - The Forward
"The richness of the background painted so ably by Dara Horn makes what is a coming-of-age saga a compelling account of one man’s development through the horrors of the Civil War.…Dara Horn’s skill as a writer and depth of comprehension is fully realized in this remarkable novel." -- Morton Teicher - Jewish Journal
"A Civil War spy page-turner meets an exploration of race and religion in 19th-century America in Horn’s enthralling latest.…Horn propels the love story at a thriller’s pace; the mix of love and loyalty played out in a divided America is sublime." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"A complex, multilayered, and thoroughly involving historical novel. Horn both unearths a fascinating, relatively unexplored aspect of American history—the role of Jewish Americans in the Civil War—and delivers a novel rich in human emotion and ambiguity. A triumph" -- Booklist (starred review)
"A tale of adventure that weaves the Civil War and the Jews of the North and South together in a web of betrayal and love, dignity and loss, that takes the breath away and makes the heart pound." -- Anne Roiphe
