"Intricate and affecting, Kasdan's debut finds hope in the saddest of stories."
—Kirkus Reviews STARRED REVIEW
Relating her older sister's struggle, Kasdan excavates its connections to family history and provides a poignant look at a mid-century Jewish family, especially during WWII and the Cold War. As she relates this history to her sister's life, she realizes how writing consoles both Rachel and her, and how it also connects them. Ultimately, Roll Back the World is a profound testament to the power of writing to heal.
