## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ What a treat!
*by S***A on 30 December 2017*

Doubtlessly a classic, the novel Silence intrigues its readers as they embark on a journey that strongly questions faith and belief until they yield.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five Stars
*by H***N on 13 September 2016*

Excellent

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Even if he was betraying them, he was not betraying his Lord"
*by S***X on 5 August 2018*

1966 Japanese classic, set in 17th century Nagasaki, where Samurai rule has made Christianity an offence punishable by death. The (fictional) Portugese priest, Father Sebastian Rodrigues, is moved at the plight of the first Catholic congregations, and makes the journey out to assist them.The Japan he finds is a grim place, the people living at subsistence level, and the tortures devised for the infidels gruesome...The title comes from the priest's increasing fear that God does not hear his people's sufferingsAt times, Rodrigues is a Christ figure, riding threough crowds on a horse to meet with the chief official - an apparently erudite and charming man, yet one who utilises savage punishments - in a concerted effort to make him give up his faith, he introduces the priest to apostate Father Ferreira.. .But we see him also as a Judas, one who ultimately sells out on his religion, - yet for reasons of love and compassion rather than fear or selfishness.Thought-provoking work. also historically very interesting.
