Praise for The House of Dreams "Brown brings a cinematic sensibility to her writing, making the long-ago exploits of Fry and his cohorts pulse with life, with an ever-present sense of danger looming overhead. There is much to admire about this novel and its strong cast of characters, most of all its portrayal of the cost--and legacy--of real courage." -- Booklist (starred review) "Brown ( The Perfume Garden ) sheds a literary light on the unsung heroes of the ARC. [A] nicely written and worthy read." -- Library Journal "[A]n exciting read with many characters you find yourself rooting for.
