Critics Review
“The dual narrative is the perfect way to teach empathy - the viewpoints remind us that we never know the full story of somebody. You need to read this with a box of tissues!”—@mrskirstbarrett (Twitter)
“Norah’s Ark by Victoria Williamson makes you believe in friendship. It has this undeniable tenderness that enchants your heart with love, empathy, and generosity.”——Nuzhat Nisar (NetGalley reviewer)
