Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“Wouk’s questions are pure, his exploration heartfelt, and his remarkable lifetime of experience couldn’t be more relevant or necessary.” —Jonathan Safran Foer, New York Times bestselling author
“In this book, as in his previous ones, whenever Herman Wouk speaks of God it is always with both exquisite curiosity and warmth.” —Elie Wiesel, New York Times bestselling author
“Extraordinary. Wouk’s recounting of conversations with Richard Feynman is not to be missed.” —Stanley B. Prusiner, Nobel Laureate
“At age ninety-four, Wouk embarks on an autobiographical journey through his monumental writings, people he has met in his life, world events, and books he has read (including the Talmud) to weave a testament of faith…This book will interest any person of faith who has followed Wouk’s storied career and read his fiction.” —Publishers Weekly
“As engaging as his megaselling historical novels…Hard not to like.” —Booklist
“With ease and intensity, Wouk leads us deep into the shadows between religion and science and shows us they are not separate mountains but one luminous, interconnected landscape. And yet, like the best of guides, he urges us to see and discover with our own eyes. A stunning rumination on life’s important questions by a masterful storyteller.” —Marisha Pessl, author of Special Topics in Calamity Physics
“In a crowded book market filled with self-serving and redundant theories about humankind’s place in the grand scheme, it is rare to encounter an original, honest, charming voice. Such is the case with Wouk’s latest work…Wouk’s humility, humor, and insight make the book a joy to read and a wonder to contemplate…Authentic, accessible prose mixed with real insight.” —Kirkus Reviews
