radella_hardwick 's review for:
Fatherland
by Robert Harris
challenging
sad
tense
medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven:
A mix
Wow
That ending is so apt and yet so unfulfilling
With everything that had come before, I don't think there was a resolution possible that would have felt justified.
On one hand, I do enjoy the way Harris introduces the real "crime" that's being investigated. On the other, I was hoping for a mystery/thriller that simply uses a post-1945 Nazi Germany as a backdrop.
This being Harris' commentary on WWII is less interesting to me than seeing a jobbing copper trying to serve justice within the bounds of a totalitarian regime.
