The End of Law

LoveReading Says

A heartbreaking, penetrating and powerful work of fiction steeped in the hellish history of the T4 forced euthanasia programme of Nazi Germany. Set just before and during the Second World War ‘The End of Law’ explores the capabilities of the human soul, often plummeting to the darkest possible depths, as two families find themselves drawn into the centre of the corruption. Make no mistake, this is at times a harrowing, desperately painful and disturbing novel to read, however where there is darkness there is light and hope plays a vital role. Therese Down has placed historical figures in her novel and based some of the central characters on real people, it feels as though this should be an over imagined story, but of course it is based in truth and the impact of the tale had me reeling. The writing is often matter of fact, simple and clear, allowing the words to hit with hammer hard precision. This is a thought provoking and absolutely fascinating read, that encourages thoughts to soar beyond good and evil. ~ Liz Robinson

A 'Piece of Passion' from the publisher...

The End of Law is a deeply powerful novel. The human tragedy that unfurls on its pages is gripping, as you witness the corruption of both a nation and individuals. This compelling story, whilst dark and full of tension, also shows the power of an individual to act against a regime, in a way that both moved me and inspired me. ~ Jess Tinker, Editor, Lion Hudson
