Synopsis

"Silence I regard as a masterpiece, a lucid and elegant drama." Irving Howe. -- The New York Times Review Of Books

About this title

Review:

One of the finest historical novels written by anyone, anywhere . . . Flawless (David Mitchell, author of CLOUD ATLAS and THE BONE CLOCKS)

This is a masterpiece. There can be no higher praise (Daily Telegraph)

One of the finest novels of our time (Graham Greene)

A remarkable work . . . sombre, delicate and startlingly empathetic (John Updike New Yorker)

Superb and harrowing - his masterpiece (Observer)

A marvellous book . . . Shusaku Endo is giving deep thought to the most basic problems of truth and how in exchanging it among ourselves we misconstruct its nature at every step (Spectator)

Silence is a compelling historical fiction, a potent distillation of the paradoxes and ambiguities of faith and, from a Christian author, a daring challenge to religious orthodoxy. (1000 Novels Everyone Must Read Guardian)

Book Description:

Soon to be a major film directed by Martin Scorsese and starring Liam Neeson, Andrew Garfield and Adam Driver
