Justice

Justice by Carey Harrison

Justice, 2013, published in the US by Dr. Cicero Books and in the UK by Skyscraper Publications.

Italy in 1946: the war is over and done with, and Italians are united in a desire to forget its horrors. But Miri Gottlieb, an Englishwoman whose Italian husband was killed in the war and whose young son was deported to Auschwitz, never to return, cannot join in the voluntary amnesia. For her, nothing is yet over and done with. There can be no peace while atrocious wartime crimes go unpunished. There has to be a reckoning.

In its Kindle form, Justice reached number 1 on Amazon’s bestselling list of contemporary fiction e-books, achieving 23,000 downloads in 3 days.

The British novelist, Rose Tremain, wrote of Justice: “I haven’t read a novel in a long time in which I could see the colours and taste the scents so clearly. It lays out the compassionate idea that forgiveness and self-sacrifice can liberate the wronged as consolingly as revenge. Justice is a fine achievement, a big-hearted book that will, I’m sure, linger long in my mind.”
