Dara Horn
Interviews

"The most innovative Jewish novel in a year dominated by Jewish debutante novelists ... Just as there is a city beneath a city in Horn's novel, there are ideas beneath ideas."

The Forward

"In the Image brilliantly combines a renewed interest in Jewish ideas with the old-as-the-hills requirements of good fiction: compelling themes, absorbing plots, characters we care about, and good writing. Modeled on what she learned from an academic study of modern Hebrew literature, Horn conjures up a world in which we feel the presence of 'a language, a literature, a held hand, an entire world lived and breathed in the image of God.'"

Reform Judaism Magazine

"Dara Horn's intricate first novel weaves back and forth in time to tell the story of a young New Jersey woman named Leora and Bill Landsmann, an elderly Jewish immigrant who befriends her."

Publishers Weekly

Jerusalem Report

"Wunderkind Dara Horn’s precocious first novel reflects her philosophy that it’s not our experiences that form us, but how we react to them."

Jerusalem Report

 

"An ambitious and absorbing first novel, In the Image delves into themes of rootedness and exile, good and evil, free will and fate, estrangement from and return to Judaism, and the power of memory, history, and love."
