"Ignore anyone who tells you there is nothing more to be said about the Holocaust, and no new ways of telling the tragedy. Sarah Wildmans gripping, tender, beautifully painful book gets to the heart of the matter through matters of the heart. And along with the pathos and pain, there is profound and honest thoughtfulness too." —Simon Schama, author of The Story of thefews
"In this captivating and elegantly written book, Sarah Wildman uses the story of a single fascinating but utterly normal woman to illuminate the tragedy of the millions murdered during the Holocaust. Though the themes are universal—family, memory, myth—what makes this remarkable book shine is the way Wildman brings to life a person lost to history, making us care desperately both for her and for her vanished world."

—Ayelet Waldman, author of Love and Treasure
"In spellbinding prose, Sarah Wildman traces her quest to understand what happened to her grandfather's mysterious lover, whom he had to leave behind when he fled Vienna in 1938. Revealing deeper truths about history and the tricky nature of memory, Paper Love is a breathtakingly powerful and beautiful new book." —David Grann, author of The Lost City of Z
"Sarah Wildman is a member of the last generation of young Jews who grew up in families presided over by Holocaust survivors and their stories—both the reliable tales and the necessary myths. She long ago turned her attention to the complex afterlife of the Holocaust, and this book—thoroughly researched, adventurously reported, and vulnerably written—has fulfilled her promise as the most important literary representative of her generation."
—Gideon Lewis-Kraus, author of A Sense of Direction
"Paper Love begins with a quest for a lost lover, and then radically inverts that path. Here the search becomes a terrifying tale not of one person, but of how each person is so much more than one, how no single life has meaning without all the others that encircle it. Wildmans spellbinding story, with its dramatic and unexpected twists, breathes each forgotten person back to life."
—Dara Horn, author of The World to Come
