Grossman is also the recipient of the French Chevalier de l'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres and the 2010 Frankfurt Peace Prize.
More Than I Love My Life... is a profound testament to the
emotional power of fiction and shows why some critics regard
Grossman as a candidate for the Nobel Prize for Literature.
*Financial Times*
Immaculately translated by Jessica Cohen, this is another
extraordinary novel from Grossman, a book as beautiful and sad as
anything you'll read this year.
*Observer*
Unforgettable . . . This adds another remarkable achievement to
Grossman's long list.
*Publisher's Weekly *Starred Review**
In More Than I Love My Life he [Grossman] tells a sombre and
affecting tale... [a] delicately crafted novel, crisply translated
from the Hebrew by Jessica Cohen.
*Sunday Times*
[Grossman gives] vivid voice to each of the characters as they
navigate their pain, both present and past... Grossman's 12
previous novels and five volumes of non-fiction have brought him
renown on both sides of the Atlantic. This book will earn him
more.
*Economist*
[A] concisely devastating novel... [Grossman] has demonstrated
again that the novel - elastic, expansive, amenable to painful
fragmentation - can provide a space for the most harrowing and
resistant material.
*Guardian*
Nobody can see the political in the personal like David Grossman.
He is an interpreter of hearts and an investigator of social
forces. Every book he writes is a revelation.
*Juan Gabriel Vásquez*
A moving exploration of the power of love, secrets and forgiveness.
A sweeping narrative rooted in a deep faith in humanity.
*Mail on Sunday*
Grossman is surely now the greatest living Israeli writer. And his
new novel, More Than I Love My Life, is arguable his best yet...
what makes the book so powerful and complex is not just the
daughters' refusal to forgive, but the way Grossman lets the story
unfold.
*Jewish Chronicle*
A meditation on love, on memory, and on the power of
storytelling.
*Financial Times, *Books of the Year**
