"Powerful. . . . Searing. . . . <i>Noonday</i> gives us bravery among the ruins." --NPR <p/>"Gripping. . . . Compelling. . . . Barker is at the height of her historicist powers." --<i>Los Angeles Review of Books</i> <p/>"Powerful and compassionate. . . . A fine and satisfying novel." --<i>Financial Times</i> <p/> "[A] sweeping panorama." --<i>The New Yorker</i> <p/>"Searing. . . . [Barker] grounds <i>Noonday</i> with historical fact and offers telling physical detail. . . . Glimmering moments like these make fans look forward to what Barker will write next." --<i>The Miami Herald<br></i><br> "Compelling. . . . Weaves narrative and reportage so skillfully, you don't realize how much empathy you're suffering; you're too busy being involved in what's happening. . . . Another fine work by a great writer." --<i>Pittsburgh Post-Gazette</i> <p/> "Picks up an irresistible momentum. . . . First-rate." --<i>Newsday</i> <p/> "Vivid. . . . Evocative. . . . <i>Noonday</i> does a magnificent job of bringing to life the rain of death London experienced in 1940." --<i>Minneapolis Star Tribune</i> <p/> "A novel of sure-footed storytelling. . . . The mindless destruction of the capital is simultaneously apocalyptic and beautiful, inhibiting and rich with opportunity. Ideas, emotions and attitudes prove as fragile--and as flammable--as the physical landscape." --<i>The New Statesman<br></i><br> "Impressive. . . . Bristl[es] with period detail and gritty, well-researched atmosphere." --<i>The Observer</i> (London) <p/> "Intelligent, uncompromising. . . . Searingly re-creates a wartime landscape. . . . Barker is as subtle and tough-minded here about human nature as in all her work. Yet the closing pages suggest the possibility of new beginnings even as they acknowledge the permanence of old wounds." --<i>Kirkus Reviews</i> (starred)
