Fatherland - Book Review

Fatherland

Somehow managed to miss this when it first came out but saw an interview with Robert Harris on TV & so thanks to my local Library have managed to read it now. Very impressed.

It is April 1964, Hitler managed to win World War II & the world is a very different place; Germany has become the world's super power & is what the Third Reich wanted it to be. We view this terrifying world through the eyes of  a Policeman called March & a case he investigates which opens up a dangerous can of worms.

Harris story weaves together real people & fictional ones & the story really draws you in - I couldn't put it down & most of my free time this last weekend has been spent buried in this.
Highly recommend.
