| From the author of the international bestseller The Quincunx"Palliserâ s novel shares some superficial similarities with last yearâ s Booker winner, Prophet Song â a family in crisis navigating an authoritarian regime â but is a more well developed and satisfying work." â The GuardianSet in Eastern Europe during the Second World War. When his nation is invaded and occupied by a brutal enemy, a well-intentioned man persuades his wife that they should give temporary shelter to a young girl who is at school with their daughter. He has no idea that the girl belongs to a community against whom the invader intends to commit genocide. Days stretch into weeks and then months while the enemyâ s pitiless hatred of the girlâ s community puts all of the family in danger. Nobody outside the family can be trusted with the dangerous secret and the threat from outside unlocks a darkness that threatens to derail them all. From the internationally bestselling author of The Quincunx (over a million copies sold worldwide), comes a deeply unsettling psychological novel about the hideous decisions that people are forced to make when living under tyrannical regimes. |
