This is the first book I have read by this author and the first I have heard of him. It's a little hard for me to review to say what I liked about it so much, but I appreciated the slow build where you learn more and more about the character as you go along. Many novels introduce you to the main character and then slowly flesh them out over the course, but in this book the first thing that you know is that he was involved in a wartime atrocity, but not exactly how.

The setting of the book was beautiful and I think the historical framework worked well. I will definitely pick up other books by the author.
