The Visible World |
This vividly recreates Czechoslovakia during the German occupation and examines its ramifications over the next 30 years as those who experienced its horrors try to rebuild their lives. The centrepiece is the plot to assassinate Heydrich by partisans and a related tragic love story. The plot jumps across the decades, from Czechoslovakia to New York, and tracks a son's quest to understand his parents. It's a tremendously moving and atmospheric book, and is highly recommended.
