Fatherland
by Robert Harris
Fatherland is a fantastic, chilling and fascinating read. Set in a world where the Nazis won the second world war and Adolf Hitler is about to celebrate his 75th birthday, March finds himself investigating a murder of a high-ranking party member. Soon he finds himself on the run as the murder opens up the doors onto a conspiracy that could turn the world upside down.
I did enjoy this – it is very different to what I usually read but that made it even more of an intriguing book. Harris does a very good job of building up the mystery and the conspiracy and when it starts to get to head, you find yourself has disturbed as the main character feels.
I also particularly liked how Harris alters the history to make the Nazi victory plausible and the world that comes after realistic. I could believe that it was real.
I would definitely recommend reading this, but you do need to be in the right state of mind for it as it is in no way a light, easy read.
