shirezu 's review for:
Fatherland
by Robert Harris
I'm glad I finally read this book. It has been on my to-read list for some time now.
This book has a possible answer for the question "What if Hitler won the war?". And it tells it from the viewpoint of a disgruntled, disillusioned police detective who whilst investigating a murder uncovers the biggest, closely guarded secret of the German Reich.
A well-written fast paced book it kept me always wanting to know more. And therein lies the issue I had with it. It just didn't tell me enough. I wanted to know more after it ended, what happened next.
I also wanted to know more about the universe of the book. Just how did the Germans defeat the Allies? Why wasn't France, Holland, etc. part of the new German empire? What about Franco and Mussolini? But I guess that's just the historian in me.
It was still a great book and I highly recommend it.
