The Blind Side of the Heart Avis

The opening of Julia Frank's novel is among the most powerful in recent years, a narrative so assured that the reader is gripped...This is a great, big silence-breaker of a novel, a laser beam into the German darkness from a writer who, one feels, has a great deal more to say -- Norman Lebrecht * Evening Standard *
Franck's command of the language of misery and loss is awesome, but so is her gift for describing the warmth of burgeoning life when things are going right -- Melissa Katsoulis * The Times *
One of the most haunting works I have ever read about 20th century Germany...The book's moral perspective is faultless, as is Franck's sensitivity to character, sexuality and the struggle to be a free woman in a fascist society...The Blind Side of the Heart is a masterpiece -- Julia Pascal * The Independent *
It is not surprising that this book won the German Book Prize... It is a rich moving and complex novel -- Allan Massie * The Scotsman *
Elegant novel ... Franck's great strength is her ability to place her characters in unenviable situations yet retain the reader's sympathy -- Gordon Darroch * Herald *
