From the Nobel laureate and writer of the masterly Night, a deeply experienced, beautifully written novel of morality, guilt, and innocence.Despite personal success, Yedidyah-a theater critic in NEW YORK, hubby to a stage actress, dad to two sons-finds himself significantly drawn to days gone by. As he displays on his life and the decisions he's made, he longingly reminisces about the human relationships he once acquired with the men in his family (his dad, his uncle, his grandfather) and the questions that stay unanswered. It's a feeling that is further complicated when Yedidyah is given to pay the murder trial of the German expatriate named Werner Sonderberg. Sonderberg returned by themselves from a walk in the Adirondacks with an older uncle, whose lifeless body was soon retrieved from the woods. His plea is enigmatic: "Guilty...rather than guilty." These words strike a chord in Yedidyah, plunging him into thoughts that bring him harrowingly near madness. As Sonderberg's trial moves along a avenue of dizzying yet revelatory twists and converts, Yedidyah begins to comprehend his own family's invisible past and finally liberates himself from the shadow it has cast over his life.Along with his signature elegance and thoughtfulness, Elie Wiesel has given us an enthralling psychological mystery, both vividly remarkable and profoundly mental.
