The problems they face, from Catholic antisemitism to the challenge of pacifism in the face of overwhelming evil, play out in very public media, among them the photography of Evans and the baseball of DiMaggio. At once magical and familiar, The Powers is a story of witness and moral responsibility that will, like Joe DiMaggio, find some unlikely fans.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e“She’s smart and irreverent, but she’s also kind and compas­sionate; she gives us imperfect people and makes us like and care about them, an essential task for any novelist but one accomplished by surprisingly few.”\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e—Jonathan Yardley, Washington Post\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Northwestern University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51038262657367,"sku":"9780810131477","price":16.16,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780810131477.jpg?v=1750939698","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-powers-a-novel-9780810131477","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
