I adored Pet, so I was eager to dive into The Book of Guilt. This novel is vastly different—dark, disturbing, and haunting. It’s a cautionary tale that reimagines the end of WWII and its aftermath in the UK with chilling plausibility. Reading it around the US presidential election made the narrative feel even more unsettling, a grim reminder of how fragile history can be. Yet, this book is undeniably brilliant, masterfully written, and deeply thought-provoking. Let’s hope this vision never comes true. Five stars!
