Title: Enthralling!
Product review: Admittedly, I usually shudder when a novel is described as 'enthralling', but there...I've gone and done it myself! Well, to be fair, in this case, it's an accurate description. Stephen Fry's third novel takes the reader on an amazing ride through what could have been. Fantastical - and yet, plausible - the story explores the possibility of what might have been if one were able to alter history in order to eliminate one of it's least savory characters - Hitler. Would we be better or worse off? There's no way of knowing for sure, but Fry gives us one possiblity. More than just conjecture about what history was and might have been, Fry's story is filled with wonderful characters, and the joy in reading it is just as much for following the development of the characters, as for exploring the possibilities of a Hitler-free world.
