It is a work of historical fiction which describes actual people and places with fictional events, dialogue and scenes added by the author and reconstructed dialogue where exact details are unknown Keneally wrote a number of well received novels before and after Schindler's List, however it has since gone on to become his most well-known and celebrated work.

Review

"An extraordinary tale...no summary can adequately convey the strategems and reverses and sudden twists of fortune...A notable achievement." -- New York Review of Books

"An astounding story...in this case the truth is far more powerful than anything the imagination could invent." -- Newsweek

"A truly heroic story of the war and, like the tree planted in Oskar Schindler's honor in Jerusalem, a fitting memorial to the fight of one individual against the horror of Nazism." Simon Wiesenthal

"An extraordinary achievement." -- Graham Greene

"Brilliantly detailed, moving, powerful and gripping." -- The Times

"Thomas Keneally has done marvellous justice to a marvellous story." -- Sunday Times

"Keneally is a superb storyteller. With SCHINDLER'S ARK he has given us his best book yet, a magnificent novel which held me from the first page to the last." -- Alan Sillitoe

"This remarkable book has the immediacy and the almost unbearable detail of a thousand eye witnesses who forgot nothing." -- New York Times
