Editorial Reviews

Review
Donna Barr is laughing at the stereotypes and prejudices of war, in a very subtle way... without any doubt, 'The Desert Peach' is an unusual flight above the 'black and white' contexts created by the media of our time. (Sasa Rakezic, Nasa Borba, the newspaper Our Struggle, Serbia)

REVIEWP Once again, I found myself caught up, compelled to read on, carried by the flow of the narrative, lost in admiration of the art, and completely unable to remember that the premise of this, like all Barrwerke is at least 50% insane. How does she do that? How come so few people seem able to do that? As someone once said, of someone else, just before they made Donna Barr, they broke the mold. (Daniel Pinkwater, Chicago Days, Hoboken Nights -- Sasa Rakezic, Nasa Borba, the newspaper Our Struggle,

With The Desert Peach, you are addressing intriguing situations with restraint and wit, and in putting an unexpected spin on familiar stories give them fresh resonance. Compelling work. -- Kim Cooper, Editrix, Scram Magazine

Product Description
The Peach and the war-orphan Hans find Rosen after the end of the war. Bitter and hilarious (The Peach's son Mani has a walk-on role -- and a future surprise for his unsuspecting father).

5.0 out of 5 stars not as salacious as it sounds ..., December 30, 1999
By A Customer
returning to postwar germany, donna barr paints a moving and vivid picture of the era. embodying the millions who searched for relatives or information, pfirsch and hans (the orphan who adopted him) have been searching for rosen, a luftwaffe pilot. giving in to hans' demands for regular meals and a home, pfirsch agrees to abandon the search only to find that rosen, true to form, has once again landed on his feet.
