Praise for Nina Siegal's The Anatomy Lesson: 'A literary page-turner that captures a story behind a masterpiece. [Siegal's] talent is in exploring the wrenching emotion of loss and the price that's paid for trying to understand human life.' Oprah Book of the Week, Editor's Pick 'Siegal succeeds in the task she has set for herself - to transmute her material into a work of art.' The New Yorker 'Siegal's fascinating narrative conveys the pomp, graft, bustle and rough justice of 17th-century Holland through a multitude of voices.' The New York Times Book Review 'Siegal sets her splendid, gory second novel in 1632 in Amsterdam, where a thief's execution occasions a celebration, evoking bloodlust throughout the city on Justice Day. ...Through masterful use of subtle details, embroidered into beautiful writing, Siegal suggests that art and violence often intertwine.' Publishers Weekly 'Virtually every sentence is drenched in the atmosphere of 17th-century Amsterdam. We feel as if we are walking at Rembrandt's side, in a cell awaiting the execution of a thief, rushing through the streets with the condemned's lover in hopes of saving him. This is a novel to be absorbed for its rich evocation of a single day when one man died and another rose to fame for his art... Brilliant.' Historical Novel Society, Editor's Choice
