The novel also garnered international acclaim, winning Britain's Orange Prize for Fiction and America's Lannan Literary Award for Fiction.

A film version of Fugitive Pieces, directed by Jeremy Podeswa, was produced in 2006.

-- C'est un magnifique roman qui a un esthétisme très contemporain. 2- Il est écrit par une jeune femme dont c'est le méier, quelque chose de très rare avant notre époque et encore aujourd'hui. 3- Surtout, pour reconnaître et apprendre à vivre avec nos grandes erreurs comme l'Holocauste et pour réaliser que le plus important, que la plus grande richesse ce sont les personnes et les les liens qu'elles ont entre elles. Si le bien-être et le bonheur de tous étaient vraiment notre valeur première et notre plus grande quête, les problèmes politiques et environnementaux pourraient se régler facilement.
