More Description
A stunning first novel that is an evocative reimagining of a World War II civilian disaster. Jessica Francis Kane paints a vivid portrait of London at war.
On a March night in 1943, on the steps of a London Tube station, 173 people die in a crowd seeking shelter from what seemed to be another air raid. When the devastated neighborhood demands an inquiry, the job falls to magistrate Laurence Dunne. As Dunne investigates, he finds the truth to be precarious, even damaging. When he is forced to reflect on his report several decades later, he must consider whether the course he chose was the right one.
The Report is a provocative, beautifully crafted novel and a commentary on the way all tragedies are remembered and endured.
