Son of Saul
on Jan. 03, 2012
A must-read!
This novel masterfully interweaves history, philosophy, and spirituality with stunningly powerful narrative. Ward pretends at nothing: his richly descriptive language brings to life every aspect of this testament without sacrificing historical integrity; the intrigue is in his characterization of the spaces between, the words unspoken, and the tales yet untold.
This is historical fiction at its finest.
