The Exception by Christian Jungersen
5.0
This book again is one of the best I've read this year. It has stayed with me. The context of my life is having a newborn baby and it being the holidays. In that light, the focus on genocide and the ability for people to become murderers under certain circumstances when they would otherwise not think they could hurt anyone.
The book was written well, changing viewpoints when you most needed it to and not remaining with one viewpoint - which would have been impossible in the context of what the author was exploring.
SPOILER ALERT - I am unsure of one character's main motivation for writing the emails in the first place other than her general emotional malaise.
But other than that, it makes you think and makes you wonder about all the issues and whether you would be or have been a person who could do the things that happen in this book.
