“The text skirts between fantastic realism, real realism, and a protagonist who has not taught himself how to go entirely insane…It is odd from the first pages to recognize the connection that is confirmed in the last pages, and yet to keep hurrying the text…it is dangerous to love a nun, even if she is your sister,” Carolivia Herron, author of Thereafter Johnnie, Lecturer in Classics, Howard University.

“The Flight of the Veil is a thoughtful, sober exploration of the high, anguished divide between memory and redemption. Berger writes with disarming generosity in clear, crisp prose. His gripping debut novel will have you honestly considering the miraculous nature of reality,” Cheryl Anne Tuggle, author of Lights on the Mountain.

“Berger’s vivid writing captures the imagination. His carefully crafted tale is reminiscent of Umberto Eco’s Name of the Rose. As in the late Italian author’s own debut best selling novel, the characters wrestle not only with a good old fashioned mystery, but with the mysteries of faith, time, identity and purpose …” Rabbi David S.
