Description
Set in Eastern Europe during World War II, Sufferance is a deeply unsettling psychological novel about the hideous decisions people are forced to make when living under tyrannical regimes. When a well-intentioned man takes in a young girl who belongs to a community targeted for genocide, his family's safety becomes a desperate gamble. Days stretch into weeks and months as the enemy's hatred puts everyone at risk. The weight of their secret threatens to derail them all, making it impossible to trust anyone outside the family. This is a gripping tale of the darkness that can unfold when living under oppressive regimes. From Charles Palliser, the internationally bestselling author of The Quincunx, comes a novel that explores the complexities of human decision-making in the face of unimaginable danger.
