Thriller upscale.

Fatherland is a beautifully crafted black fleece. Its originality lies in both the excellent detective story and helpful description of Nazi Germany. The novel thus bathed in an ultra-realistic atmosphere: the party is everywhere, Berlin lives in the cult of the Führer, suspicion and denunciation reign supreme (terrible scene where the hero is betrayed by a member of his own family) . In this stifling atmosphere and very credible, March fight with the help of a young American journalist to reveal the untold truth that has built the Reich. We feel great sympathy for Xavier March, only to resist the general indoctrination orchestrated by the Nazis and to retain its free will (but at what cost!).

Exciting and scary, Fatherland devours from one end to the other. Best of all, the end is very successful, which is far from always being the case in this type of novels.
