I enjoyed this novel for its immersive portrayal of the Dreyfus Affair: a work of historical fiction that imagines private motives while remaining firmly grounded in real events. The power of the story lies in how the events themselves serve as a commentary on the society of the time; antisemitism, institutional self preservation, and the sway of public opinion are revealed not through authorial judgment, but through their consequences for truth and justice.
