PRAISE

For The Orphan’s Daughter

“Jan Cherubin writes with tenderness and force and humor. Her spellbinding debut novel, The Orphan’s Daughter, swept me away.”

–E. Jean Carroll, author of What Do We Need Men For? A Modest Proposal

“Jan Cherubin’s touch is both assured and nuanced; her story is full of vivid details and wry observations. The Orphan’s Daughter is a novel that will stay with you long after you’ve finished reading it.”

–Daphne Merkin, author of This Close to Happy and 22 Minutes of Unconditional Love

“The Orphan’s Daughter is beautifully specific, evocative, and emotionally charged.”

–Lynne Sharon Schwartz, author of Disturbances in the Field and Truthtelling

“The Orphan’s Daughter is both sharp and moving, which isn’t easy to pull off. The narrator, Joanna Aronson, is convincingly troubled and likable. And her father is a flat-out great character, not like anyone I’ve read about before but immediately recognizable and plausibly individual.”

–David Gates, author of A Hand Reached Down to Guide Me and Jernigan
