Repentance by Andrew Lam
4.0
Kudos to Andrew Lam and his new historical fiction, Repentance.
With amazing twist and turns, and a well crafted written style, I was totally compelled to this story.
It follows a double timeline which shows the reader the present time from Daniel's point of view and the past through his father's pov. Both the men are so different and the shadow of their past has marked a distance impossible to overcome, but there is something from Daniel's father past that might affect the present and the future as well, and change this unstable balance.
I love how the author explores the characters' personalities and their relationships and I was likewise interested in the American Japanese situation, which it was quite to me and that was well described along throughout the book.
I'm used to reading historical fiction books, but the author's style has positively surprised me, and for this, I'm grateful to the publisher and Historical Fiction Virtual Book Tours for my copy in exchange for my honest review.
