Critical reception

[edit]

Critics have reviewed The Blood of Lorraine favorably. Deborah Schoeneman of the Jewish Book Council wrote it is " a fascinating read, exploring religious, social, and political thinking, propaganda, and prejudice".[2] Kirkus review reported it "gracefully transports the reader to its liveried era and broadens the story’s appeal with characters of substance and depth".[3] Publishers Weekly concluded, "Pope, a historian, more than compensates for a not fully satisfying ending with a complex lead and the skill with which she makes the anti-Semitic atmosphere of the times both palpable and tragically prophetic."[4]
