BOOK OF THE WEEK
EVERY MAN DIES ALONE
by Hans Fallada
This masterpiece, told by a heroic best-selling writer, saw his life crumble when he wouldn't join the Nazi Party. It is based on a true story. It presents a richly detailed portrait of life in Berlin under the Nazis and tells the saga of one working-class couple who decides to take a stand when their only son is killed at the front. With nothing but their grief and each other against the power of the Reich, they launch a clandestine resistance campaign that soon has an enraged Gestapo on their trail. A world of terrified neighbours and cynical snitches are also ready to turn them in. In the end, it's more than just a thriller and a moving romance. It is a deeply stirring story of two people standing up for what's right, and for each other.
This is a novel that is so powerful, so intense, that it almost hums with electricity.
