Strength in What Remains

Reviews

“The journey of Deo achieves mythic importance in Tracy Kidder’s expert hands.”
—Adrian Nicole LeBlanc, author of Random Family

“Tracy Kidder’s Strength in What Remains is a tour de force. Inspiring. Moving. Gripping. Deo’s story is remarkable, stunning really. His journey is the story of our times, one that keeps the rest of us from forgetting. This book will stir the conscience and resurrect your faith in the human spirit.”
—Alex Kotlowitz, author of There Are No Children Here

"Read this book, and it's one that you will not likely forget. The story of a journey, classical in its way, but contemporary and very modern in its details. It's written with such simplicity and lucidity that it transcends the moment and becomes as powerful and compelling as those journeys of myth."
—Jonathan Harr, author of A Civil Action

“The reporting is impeccable, but it's Kidder's great feat of sympathetic imagination that dazzles. Walk a mile in Deo's shoes; your world will be larger and darker for it."
—William Finnegan, author of Cold New World and Crossing the Line

“Believe me, at the end of this riveting narrative, your eyes will not be dry."
—Adam Hochschild, author of King Leopold's Ghost and Bury the Chains
