The Seventh Gate by Richard Zimler

The Seventh Gate by Richard Zimler

Set in 1930s Berlin, during the Nazis' rise to power, this story brings together Sophie Riedesel, an intelligent, adventurous fourteen-year-old with Isaac Zarco and his friends, most of whom are Jews, ex-circus performers and underground activists. It is a love story and tragedy - and a tale of ferocious heroism.

Zimler has this spark of genius, which critics can't explain but readers recognize, and which every novelist desires but few achieve. -- Michael Eaude * Independent *
Zimler is an honest, powerful writer. * Guardian *
Zimler's writing is pacey and accessible without ever patronising the reader; deeply moving without ever descending into schmaltz. -- Martin Bright * Observer *
