My husband and I read this book together and while he kept saying it was "depressing" I found it an interesting story. I really enjoyed the writing style and use of descriptive language the author, Yasmina Khadra, uses. I would definitely read more by this author.

from the back of the book:

"Khadra's prose is gentle and precise ... Makes a powerful point about what can happen to a man when 'the light of his conscience has gone out'"
--The New Yorker
