Redemption Falls by Joseph O'Connor
5.0
Oh, I liked this one a lot! The story is heartbreakingly realistic and believable, as are the characters, but what sets the book apart is the hugely enjoyable technique O’Connor uses to tell the story. It came across at somewhat fragmented in the beginning, but after a short while I found it quite impossible to put the book down.
The plot is dark, brutal and tragic, not at all anything for the squeamish, but there are also lighter episodes. I hugely enjoyed the cartographer Allen Winterton’s conversation with the printer Trevanion!
And the ending! Mr McLelland brushing of the “puny Austrian thug Schickelgruber” as inconsequential sent chills down my back… We never learn.
