The Child Thief by Dan Smith
5.0
When reading the short content, I expected a thriller along the lines of Child 44. Which would be fine.
But this book is so much more, it gripped me and I had to stop myself from reading very late, because it would not leave me.
The hunt for the thief and being hunted is only the frame for the story. Beyond that it is about the fear of oppression, about fathers and sons and about balancing between desperation and hope.
Highly recommended.
