“Jillian Cantor’s In Another Time is a love song to the most powerful of all human emotions: hope. It is the story of Max and Hanna, two star-crossed lovers fighting to stay together during an impossible moment in history. It is gripping, mysterious, romantic, and altogether unique. I was enchanted by this beautiful, heartbreaking novel.”
“In Another Time is a stunning testament to the power of books, music, and love, and how they can endure, and ultimately prevail, during calamitous times.”
“In Another Time is a spellbinding story about the power of love and the strength of the human spirit…. A stunning, transporting novel.”
“In Another Time is a beautifully written, utterly romantic story about a love that transcends time. The sort of book you wish could never end.”
“Cantor elevates love as a powerful force… and shows how music speaks to even the cruelest hearts. [In Another Time is] a powerful story that exalts the strength of the human spirit.”
“A total page-turner.”
“[A]t the center of the novel are two beautiful love stories involving two seemingly star-crossed couples, whose love overcomes all obstacles…. Getting it right is an art, and Cantor is an artist. She got me from that first page, and I stayed hooked throughout. It’s not just that Cantor kept me interested—she got me involved emotionally with the story.”
“Inventive…. Cantor’s what-if story combines historical fiction with mounting suspense and romance, but above all, it is an ode to the adoration and competition between sisters.”
“A convincing, engaging might-have-been. Francophiles will want to dig in.”
“Intriguing… with compelling sensitivity.”
“A page-turner…. A wishful, thought-provoking love story.”
“A thoughtful speculation about postwar life.”
“If Huffington Post Books gave a star rating system for books, Margot deserves five bold stars.”
“[A] down-to-the-wire thriller.”
“We kind of love historical novels, and Cantor’s is quickly climbing to the top of our all-time faves list…. You won’t be able to put it down.”
“Cantor mixes fact with fiction to create a moving portrait of two of the most vilified figures in modern history.”
