Harris’s story bogs down in places with dense detail, but the raw emotions of the characters and the issues that drive human dissent make this a worthwhile read.
Following last year's successful films Dunkirk and Darkest Hour, this novel offers a similar escape into a cushy featherbed of certitudes where steely goodhearted lads square off against evil. Exhibit A for anyone complaining they don't write them like that anymore.
Returning to the territory of the alt-history classic Fatherland, Harris visits the Munich Conference, with two friends from 1920s Oxford in conflict...
Steeped in ecclesiastical and historical insights, Harris's suspenseful drama is warmly recommended for all fiction collections. ["An enjoyable read, with its insider details of life at the Vatican": LJ 9/1/16 review of the Knopf hc.]
British reader Christian Rodska does a great job presenting the slow disintegration of Hoffman's seemingly untouchable life, and readers won't be disappointed in the breathtaking sequence of events that culminates in a startling climax. Highly recommended for all public libraries. ["Get ready to enjoy a brilliant integration of fascinating research, compelling themes, and vivid characterization," read the review of the New York Times best-selling Knopf hc, LJ 1/12; the Arrow: Random mass-market pb will publish in June 2012.—Ed.]
