Fugitive Pieces is extraordinary in every sense: in the heart-shaking intensity of its language (MIchaels is an award-winning poet), in the seriousness of its purpose (refusing to over-simplify matters solidified by decades of pain and despairing cliche), in the scale of its ambition (to meditate on what morality might be, and on the continuing resonances of the most terrible events of the 20th century)." - Scotsman ![]() "The worth of Anne Michaels' Fugitive PIeces has left seasoned critics gasping in awestruck inarticulacy. Founded on great ambition and carried through fearlessly." - Guardian A book to read many times." - Independent "All except a handful of contemporary novels are dwarfed by its reach, its compassion, its wisdom. Fugitive Pieces is the most important book I have read for forty years." - John Berger, Observer ![]()
