Description
The Cameraman by Matthew Kneale is a gripping family drama that follows Julius Sewell's perilous road trip across Europe in 1934. Released from an institution, Julius embarks on a journey to his sister's wedding in Rome, accompanied by his eccentric and divided family. As they travel through Nazi Germany and Mussolini's Italy, the group faces numerous challenges, including a bus tour to Dachau concentration camp. With tensions running high among the relatives, who hold differing political views, Julius' mental stability is put to the test. Along the way, he gathers a stray dog and forms unexpected bonds with his family members. This thought-provoking novel explores themes of identity, loyalty, and the complexities of human relationships under extreme circumstances.
