buddhafish 's review for:
The Tenth Man
by Graham Greene
43rd book of 2020.
'It's not so easy to hate a face you know,' she said, 'as a face you just imagine.'
Another short, but powerful and enjoyable Greene novel. One of the ten prisoners are going to killed in a WWII prisoner-of-war camp and they are left to decide who the tenth man will be. What happens from here determines the rest of the novel, stretching past the camp, and into the future that lies beyond for the survivors. Above all, this is a story of guilt and courage.
If one had possessed a God's eye view of France, one would have detected a constant movement of tiny grains moving like dust across a floor shaped like a map.
