A review by jlmreader
Testimony by Scott Turow

4.0

Wrapped inside a legal thriller is the heart of Turow's book, a study of identity.
Nearly every character is dealing with some aspect of shifting personal or professional identity as they deal with the disappearance of 400 Roma men, women and children in a war zone
Ethnic, religious, sexual, professional, the identity one is born with, the identity one creates for him or herself are all examined here.
As the facts of the Roma's fate are uncovered, the identity issues of the characters conflict, clash, complement and confound each other and with the truth.
This book is excellent as a legal thriller and compelling as a more philosophical read.
