A review by smemmott
Arthur & George by Julian Barnes

4.0

I started reading without realizing that the book was based on true events, and I have to admit I was more impressed when I thought that Barnes had invented the bizarre case against George Edalji. But the core of the book is really the way Barnes explores the themes raised by the plot, not the plot itself. It's thoughtful and takes the characters seriously, with a completely believable look at their inner lives.
