The Grande Dame and Hitler’s Twin

Fiction

“Sally Tubach is a prose magician in this multi-layered book with comic, tragic, ironic turns, one of the most cleverly crafted I have read in a long while. The narrative revolves around two reversed figures woven into a plot that holds the most dazzlingly thought-provoking surprises (to wit, the sci-fi trick the author deftly employs to bring Hitler’s twin into the twenty-first century), and raises provocative questions of historical relevance (like how might things have been different if Adolf Hitler had been admitted to art school and become a successful artist?).”
