By examining the relationships between the members of the Reeser family, the often tenuous relationship between the Reesers and the family who hid the paintings during and after the war, and the relationships between the Reesers and those who aided in their escape from Czechoslovakia and in their endeavors to reclaim their property, Kacer grapples with the complexities of two generations’ attempts to come to terms with the past. ― Holocaust Studies
In Restitution, author Kathy Kacer tells this true story of a family's quest in compelling detail, the story fleshed out with the Reeser family's pictures and documents. ― ShalomLife.com
I absolutely loved this book. I thought it was well-told and documents a different aspect of World War II - stolen art. ― Reading to Know book blog
Kathy Kacer mixes memoir and fiction to tell the story of one Jewish family’s determination to survive the Holocaust...a riveting saga...a stunning achievement for children's author Kathy Kacer...Kacer skillfully pushes boundaries to provide a hybrid offering, hovering between memoir and fiction, heavily laced with meticulously researched historical data while unfolding a spectacularly gut-wrenching detective yarn, replete with inspiring characters. ― The Globe and Mail
I was really impressed with Marie Reiser and all that she managed almost by sheer force of will. An inspiring story. ― One Librarian’s Book Reviews Blog
Rich in historical and cultural detail, this arresting story is a triumph of hope over despair, tenacity over evil. -- Rabbi Bernard Baskin ― The Canadian Jewish News

5.0 out of 5 stars excellent read
This book captured my interest from the beginning. The author's writing had an easy flow from making the past seem so close and the transition from the war years to the present was miraculous. This story was a perfect fit for me who enjoys historical novels.
