Reviews
"Anne Michaels's compelling novel, Held, couldn't be more timely: war and its damages, passed through generations over a century. Through luminous moments of chance, change, and even grace, Michaels shows us our humanity--its depths and shadows." --Margaret Atwood, via Twitter, "A gorgeous meditation on whether the ghost in the machine is actually in our hearts . . . Michaels artfully extracts, and reweaves, the often-invisible threads connecting the lives of her characters . . . A multi-faceted and subtle discussion of what keeps animating the web of existence." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred) "Sublime . . . The joys and sorrows of passionate love and grief and the physics of memory are conveyed through the characters' profound and lyrical musings . . . Michaels brings her poet's finesse and soulfulness to this exquisite, deeply moving paean to love and life's insistence and beauty." --Donna Seaman, Booklist (starred) "I was blown away by the scale, beauty, weave and thinking of this book . . . It dances with words, time and ideas in a way that seems to reinvent everything I know about the novel . . . and it's such a transporting read too. It's exquisite--I am in awe." --Rachel Joyce, author of Miss Benson's Beetle "Luminescent . . . Her stunning prose sustains the book's enchanted mood from start to finish. Each page of this masterpiece has a line worth savoring." -- Publishers Weekly (starred) "Anne Michaels's compelling novel, Held, couldn't be more timely: war and its damages, passed through generations over a century.

Synopsis
WINNER OF THE GILLER PRIZE * SHORTLISTED FOR THE BOOKER PRIZE * A NEW YORK TIMES BEST HISTORICAL NOVEL OF THE YEAR * A breathtaking and ineffable new novel from the author of the international bestsellers Fugitive Pieces and The Winter Vault --a novel of love and loyalty across generations, at once sweeping and intimate 1917. On a battlefield near the River Escaut, John lies in the aftermath of a blast, unable to move or feel his legs. Struggling to focus his thoughts, he is lost to memory as the snow falls--a chance encounter in a pub by a railway, a hot bath with his lover on a winter night. 1920. John has returned from war to North Yorkshire, near a different river. He is alive but still not whole. Reunited with Helena, an artist, he reopens his photography business and tries to keep on living. But the past erupts insistently into the present, as ghosts begin to surface in his pictures: ghosts with messages he cannot understand. So begins a narrative that spans four generations of connections and consequences that ignite and reignite as the century unfolds. In radiant moments of desire, comprehension, longing, and transcendence, the sparks fly upward, working their transformations decades later. Held is affecting and intensely beautiful, full of mystery, wisdom, and compassion, a novel by a writer at the height of her powers., WINNER OF THE GILLER PRIZE - SHORTLISTED FOR THE BOOKER PRIZE - A NEW YORK TIMES BEST HISTORICAL NOVEL OF THE YEAR - A breathtaking and ineffable new novel from the author of the international bestsellers Fugitive Pieces and The Winter Vault --a novel of love and loyalty across generations, at once sweeping and intimate 1917.
