Reuven Tamiroff, a Holocaust survivor, has never been able to speak about his past to his son, a young man who yearns to understand his father's silence. As campuses burn amidst the unrest of the Sixties and his own generation rebels, the son is drawn to his father's circle of wartime friends in search of clues to the past. Finally discovering that his brooding father has been haunted for years by his role in the murder of a brutal SS officer just after the war, young Tamiroff learns that the Nazi is still alive. Haunting, poetic, and very contemporary, The Fifth Son builds to an unforgettable climax as the son sets out to complete his father's act of revenge.

The Fifth Son
I had the privilege of reading a signed first edition of this book passed down from my Dad, and the rich smell, thick pages, and classic hardcover added to the experience of reading this book. The story is dark, and it starts slow. It is mostly composed of dialogue between the son and his father's friends, and some between the son and his father. The dialogue has a haunting quality which led me to wonder what horror was to come. When the mystery is finally revealed it is done delicately, and a new conflict emerges, with a satisfactory conclusion.
The book is just the right length, and at the end I was left thinking about good and evil. It is not a thriller, nor a feel-good. I wouldn't call it a page-turner either. An adult bed-time story to be read in short bursts maybe, but well worth reading!
