An expressive and poignant tale, of six children who meet while on holiday in France in 1928, then as adults face the Second World War from very different perspectives. The prologue sets the tale firmly in motion, one man is seeking retribution, the question is why? Set over six parts, each in a different time frame, the focus remains on the characters, even though the Second World War fills the pages.
John R. McKay has a clear, precise style, yet he sets emotions vibrating through his writing. Each setting, each character, each moment in time are separate, yet there is a link threading between them, hovering with menace. This is a tale about human capabilities and vulnerabilities, about paths chosen and stories left untold, and ‘The Absolution of Otto Finkel’ is an entirely captivating read. ~ Liz Robinson
