A review by bkish
The Betrayers by David Bezmozgis
4.0
I doubt that this book will resonate for someone who is not Jewish. I am and for me this was a powerful book with complex issues. It was a very dark story and there was some forgiveness and generosity. Some of the relationships tho were not handled with care.
I will write more later.
It is about relationship and an older man who is in Israeli parliament minister of trade and a position he takes which angers the Prime Minister. He is a powerful man and very stubborn. He applies his standards everywhere and he misses out. The book is about his flaws that he comes to realize and the price of it. The irony of life is obvious here that at a critical time in his life he meets his original enemy who denounces him to the KGB which results in his imprisonment.
It is a complex story and he is complex as we jewish people are always. The story had an impact on me so I will write again.
