Reviews
Lauren Belfer's panoramic new novel is a love story wrapped around a spy story with a pivotal medical breakthrough at its center.", Compelling…. An immersive, page-turning story emboldened by historical fact and a rich imagination., An ingenious first novel. . . . Alive with historical figures who mingle seamlessly with the fictional characters. . . . A huge, sprawling portrait of the United States at the turn of the last century., On as grand a scale as any Bach masterpiece, Belfer's novel explores the composer's religious music and its effect on two women living 300 years apart.... Powerfully and emotionally written.... A fascinating, compelling read., One of the four best novels published to date in 2016.… The research and writing are… splendidly accomplished…. Brilliant., A different species of suspense tale…. Evocative, deeply researched…. Manage[s] to dazzle while delving into dark places., Engrossing. . . . A needy musicologist and his kid, a worldly woman haunted by trauma, the promise of the fabulous discovery of a lost and un-performable work by Johann Sebastian Bach--mix in greed and the drama that is modern New York--and you have the basis of a strong novel. Add to this generations of great names in music and culture, and you get a page-turner to love, even if you're tone deaf. . . . a compelling and entertaining novel that will send you back to music., . . . Belfer is adept at writing historical fiction that sizzles. Sex, spies, murder, big money, family betrayals, doomed romance and exotic travel are smoothly braided into her main narrative about the wartime race to make large quantities of penicillin., Belfer's prose is heartbreaking, as are her twin themes of love and betrayal, both romantic and familial. . . . She also has a gift for rejuvenating spirit of place--turn-of-the-20th-century Buffalo in City of Light and wartime New York here., Brilliant and mesmerizing.... Since reading And After the Fire, I've been trumpeting it as the best novel I've had the pleasure of reading in years., A FIERCE RADIANCE shines with fascinating detail about a moment in American history we have mostly forgotten, when penicillin was new, miraculous, and in short supply. Belfer's powerful portrayal of how people are changed in pursuit of a miracle makes this book an especially compelling read., [Belfer's] virtuoso novel...epitomizes Faulkner's epigram that the past is never dead--or even past. Susanna and Sara's storylines inevitably merge, across centuries and continents and gathering suspense. The novel swells with life's great themes--love and death, family and faith --and the insistent, dark music of loss., [A] compelling blend of fact and fiction.… Based on impressive research, this remarkable novel spans centuries and continents, touching finally on the Holocaust and serving as a paean to Bach's music while acknowledging the composer's expressed hatred of Jews., One of the four best novels published to date in 2016.... The research and writing are... splendidly accomplished.... Brilliant., A bold and hugely ambitious novel with the transfixing appeal of a best-seller...by a native daughter of the city whose talent is now even beyond the admiration of those of us so impressed by City of Light....Extraordinary., Compelling.... An immersive, page-turning story emboldened by historical fact and a rich imagination., Marvelous.... Meticulously structured.... Eloquently and elegantly written. The themes are important and engaging. It is not a novel one will put down easily or forget at its conclusion., On as grand a scale as any Bach masterpiece, Belfer's novel explores the composer's religious music and its effect on two women living 300 years apart…. Powerfully and emotionally written…. A fascinating, compelling read., A fascinating historical novel and poignant love story that will open the eyes and ears of music lovers and please those who enjoy a graceful, spellbinding tale pondering important questions., [A] compelling blend of fact and fiction.… Based on impressive research, this remarkable novel spans centuries and continents, touching finally on the Holocaust and serving as a paean to Bach's music., [Belfer's] virtuoso novel…epitomizes Faulkner's epigram that the past is never dead-or even past.

Filled with history, gorgeous descriptions of music, and people both real and imagined., Highly readable.... Will delight readers of historical fiction, especially if they are music aficionados who like a good love story thrown into the works....

Told with lyrical beauty (in a tender love scene, the past exists with the present), the novel is like the lost cantata itself, revealing our capacity for darkness, redeemed by the power of unconditional love. A dazzling, transformative novel. Highly recommended., Belfer is adept at revealing the complex politics and sentiments, including the religious biases, of 18th-century Europe. The important questions Belfer poses regarding the ethical complexities of art are engrossing., This latest novel from Belfer…is her most compelling yet….

Synopsis
National Jewish Book Award Winner The New York Times bestselling author of A Fierce Radiance and City of Light returns with a powerful and passionate novel--inspired by historical events--about two women, one European and one American, and the mysterious choral masterpiece by Johann Sebastian Bach that changes both their lives. In the ruins of Germany in 1945, at the end of World War II, American soldier Henry Sachs takes a souvenir, an old music manuscript, from a seemingly deserted mansion and mistakenly kills the girl who tries to stop him. In America in 2010, Henry's niece, Susanna Kessler, struggles to rebuild her life after she experiences a devastating act of violence on the streets of New York City. When Henry dies soon after, she uncovers the long-hidden music manuscript. She becomes determined to discover what it is and to return it to its rightful owner, a journey that will challenge her preconceptions about herself and her family's history--and also offer her an opportunity to finally make peace with the past. In Berlin, Germany, in 1783, amid the city's glittering salons where aristocrats and commoners, Christians and Jews, mingle freely despite simmering anti-Semitism, Sara Itzig Levy, a renowned musician, conceals the manuscript of an anti-Jewish cantata by Johann Sebastian Bach, an unsettling gift to her from Bach's son, her teacher. This work and its disturbing message will haunt Sara and her family for generations to come. Interweaving the stories of Susanna and Sara, and their families, And After the Fire traverses over two hundred years of history, from the eighteenth century through the Holocaust and into today, seamlessly melding past and present, real and imagined.
