Kirkus (Starred Review)
“Three women carry the narrative weight of this searing novel, set in pre- and post-World War II Berlin and New York City in the 1970s and ’80s…The stories of Ilse and Renate are viscerally quotidian in detailing how Nazism distorts their adolescence…. A vividly written and stark chronicle of Nazism and its legacies.”

“Take a fascinating inside look at the twisted world of Nazi Germany in Wunderland, Jennifer Cody Epstein’s wonderful new novel. Both heartbreaking and hopeful, this story of a daughter searching for the truth about her mother’s secret past, tangled up in old secrets and terrible lies, kept me up late turning pages.”

“Wunderland is a sweeping, heart-stopping story. Jennifer Cody Epstein has a singular gift for bringing bygone worlds like 1930s Berlin blazingly to life, but lucky for her readers, she digs deeper. This is an unforgettable portrait of friendship and betrayal, mothers and daughters, the political forces beyond our control and the personal histories we can’t shake. A rich, gripping novel.”
