Recensione:
Praise for Crimes of the Father
“Distinctive and well-wrought. . . . [a] brilliant, brutal rendering.” (The New York Times Book Review)
"Absorbing...fascinating...Keneally knows how to spin a compelling plot...a good read by a rliable craftsman that tackles an important issue." (New York Journal of Books)
"Stunning and heartrending, a work of fiction that has a terrible ring of truth." (Booklist)
"Keneally's fiction has returned again and again to the themes of thwarted justice and human opportunism. Crimes of the Father is the work of a richly experienced and compassionate writer. It has an honest understanding of a deeply wounded culture." (The Sydney Morning Herald)
“Keneally boldly puts you in each character’s place...Pulsing with rage at ecclesiastical complacency, it’s deeply discomfiting (but never prurient) quest for redress narrated with clarity and urgency.” (Daily Mail (UK))
"An impressive panorama...Crimes of the Father [is] a convincing argument for the power of fiction to get under the skin of a great contemporary controversy." (The Times of London (UK))
"Keneally is extraordinarily generous in his story-telling...another hugely satisfying read from one of the world's great writers." (The Spectator)
"A provocative and powerful study...Keneally exposes the cynical casuistry of a church determined to fight critics down to 'its last lawyer', an institution that puts its survival above its soul." (The Guardian (UK))
”The writing comes alive...timely and wise.” (The Sydney Review of Books)
”A propellant plot...first-rate." (The Australian)
