The Madonnas of Leningrad has been reviewed in all major media outlets throughout the US… see the pertinent buttons on the left…

“[A] story about memories and imagination… [Dean’s] descriptive passages and dialogue are painteresque and exquisitely drawn. They bring to life wonderful paintings as well as the tortured lives of Leningrad’s residents.”
— USA Today

“Rare is the novel that creates that blissful forgot-you-were-reading experience. This sort of transcendence is rarer still when the novel in question is an author’s debut, but that is precisely what Debra Dean has achieved with her image-rich book…”
— Seattle Post Inteligencer

“An extraordinary debut, a deeply lovely novel that evokes with uncommon deftness the terrible, heartbreaking beauty that is life in wartime…  Dean’s exquisite prose shimmers with a haunting glow… A superbly graceful novel.”
— Chang-rae Lee, author of A Gesture Life and Native Speaker
