| An accusion, regardless of truth, has its own life when let loose in the world. Topping Now magazine's and amazon.ca's best book of the year lists and hailed by the Globe and Mail as "a psychological thriller . . . calm on the surface yet, on closer reading, full of ambiguities," Accusation demonstrates once again that Catherine Bush is one of Canada's finest writers. Examining the way we judge others and the impracticability of determining "truth," Bush crafts a tale the Montreal Gazette believes "could almost be a crime novel of the Scandinavian variety, striding headlong into the murkier reaches of human motivation." While in Copenhagen, journalist Sara Wheeler happens upon a touring Ethiopian circus. After a friend begins a documentary about the circus and its charismatic leader, disturbing allegations arise. Accounts and anecdotes mount, denunciations fly, and while we strive to untangle the narrative slipknots, the concept of "truth" begins to unravel. Travelling from Canada to Ethiopia and Australia, Accusation follows a network of lives that intersect with life-altering consequence. |
