“...Winkler takes a topic of growing interest, the recovery and return of art stolen by the Nazis, and weaves a story spanning 23 years about one family and one painting. But this is not a novel about the horrors of war or the detective work involved in art recovery. Instead, Winkler focuses on the struggles of trying to reestablish a life when everything you know and love is gone.”

“Fiction depicting one family . . . serves deep truths about individuals and societies. We are invited to consider how art is valued or debased, and what is transitory in our lives, what permanent. A compelling journey.”
—Dr. David Altshuler, Founding Director, Museum of Jewish Heritage

“Portrait of a Woman in White is a fairy tale, interrupted . . . a poignant novel about the members of a close Jewish family whose beautiful lives are suddenly shattered when the Nazis invade France. Placed against the backdrop of Hitler’s efforts to plunder a nation’s cultural treasures, the story gives us characters and a world of such refinement that any reader will be captivated."Between the Covers: The Book Babes’ Guide to a Woman’s Reading Pleasures

“Two cultured French families lose everything in the Second World War, even each other. Winkler spins from this tragic tale a thing of beauty, as delicately radiant as the imagined painting at its core, even as she keeps the pages turning until the end.”
—Nicole Mones, author of Night in Shanghai
