Praise for Fatherland “A singular achievement displaying original and carefully wrought suspense . . . Fatherland easily transcends convention.”—The Washington Post “A solid thriller, vividly imagined and genuinely frightening.”—The Atlanta Journal-Constitution “Ingenious . . . a triumph . . . suspenseful and elegant.”
Fatherland is a book worth taking the time to get into, even if the start doesn't grab the reader as much as the cover and tagline would have you think. When presented with the concept of a world in which Hitler won, enjoying an uneasy peace with Kennedy's United States, one expects drama and outrage from the start.
