Silence by Shūsaku Endō

5.0

This is one of the most beautiful and haunting books I've ever read. It troubles me deeply. Essentially, it is a story of historical fiction that deals with the idea of God's silence. If God is truly all-loving, all-knowing, and all-powerful, why is God silent in the face of suffering? This is going on my favorite shelf and I cannot wait for the Scorsese movie to come out next year.
