Hauntingly Evocative Historical Fiction
Revisado: 10-08-17
In 'The Pacifist,' Mehreen Ahmed has crafted a complex and beautifully nuanced tale of love, deception, institutional abuse, and familial woe. The story follows the lives of three generations of an Australian family during the late 1800s, all of whom were in some way touched by the corrupt and abusive Badgerys Creek orphanage. The tale also touches on the societal effects of sudden wealth, and the cruel history of Britain’s Australian colonies. Written in a style reminiscent of literary great Joyce Carol Oates, 'The Pacifist' is a must-read for lovers of historical fiction and Australian history.
