An Officer and a Spy

Outstanding historical fiction

This is the first book I've read by Harris and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The story of Dreyfus has always intrigued me and I was eager to read this historical fiction retelling. It is hard and yet sadly easy to imagine this gross miscarriage of justice taking place as a government scrambles to find a scapegoat and a rallying point. The book was compelling, it kept my interest, it made me angry on Dreyfus' and his supporters' behalf even though I knew that they would be exonerated in the end. I highly recommend checking e cling this book out! And I will be look I my into Harris's backlist!
