If Steven Soderbergh wrote All the Light We Cannot See, you might just have something like The Ventriloquists [Aug. 27, Park Row]. This inspired-by-true-events debut WWII heist novel by E.R. Ramzipoor has already earned a starred review (by Booklist‘s incomparable Bill Ott, no less), calling it “a compelling historical thriller” that is “never less than engrossing.” 

And here’s some more early buzz:

“Reminds us that so much of what we read, hear and watch is propaganda–for someone, for some organization, some country. I cannot recommend this story high enough.” —Heather Morris, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Tattooist of Auschwitz

“Eloquently reminding us that self-expression is the truest form of survival, E.R. Ramzipoor has made an unforgettable and important contribution to the canon of Holocaust literature.” —Pam Jenoff, New York Times bestselling author of The Orphan’s Tale and The Lost Girls of Paris

“Brilliantly gives a lost moment of history voice, flesh, and soul.” —Devin Murphy, national bestselling author of The Boat Runner
