Peace

Description

Review `A few pages into Richard Bausch's Peace, I decided that I was reading one of the best books of my life. Two months later, I'm a bit calmer, but it's still absolutely f***in' brilliant.' --Roddy Doyle, Books of 2009, Guardian`A beautiful bit of writing: lean, compact and layered, darkly humorous... Lyrical and unflinching... The narrative is infused with a deft grasp of metaphor and a kind of aching rage. A timely novel.' -- A L Kennedy, Books of 2009, Guardian Book Description A stunning short novel with breakout potential to exhilerate readers who loved Ian McEwan's Atonement; The Dark Room by Rachel Seiffert; and Sandor Marias' Embers.'Richard Bausch's Peace, set at the end of the Second World War in Italy, is a small masterpiece with the same emotional force and moral complexity as Conrad's Heart of Darkness.'
