A review by shradar
Silence by Shūsaku Endō

3.0

The complexities of apostasy are bold in this classic. What is the point of mission and the staying power of the faith for those under oppression? How would you withstand the pain of turning against Christ?

Characters are vivid in their struggle and environment. Christians might wrestle with a tale of faith that doesn't end in Amish romance but it is worth the contemplation.
