Massini is the real thing. His writing is smart, electric, light on its feet. (...) "The Lehman Trilogy" lives on the page because of its human moments: the wooing of spouses; the scandals and feuds; the perilous attempts to climb the class ladder. - New York Times
"On stage, just three actors perform it; on the page, it's a panoramic circus, and ravishing, rollicking reading all the way." - Booklist (starred review)
"A grand morality tale about God, greed, conquest and family." - The Economist
"Written as a poetic and dramatic song, it dazzles with intelligence and humor." - Le Figaro Littéraire
