A review by duparker
Kingdom of Shadows by Alan Furst

3.0

Furst uses vague language to set up intrigue and drama with a twist of realism in this book. I found the drama of WWII Europe and the inequities of the lives of people who reside there in this story to be shadowy and full of a grime that is so different than popular WWII set stories. Furst is able to be gloomy and real, but also let the reader know that this is fiction. It's just not escapist fiction.
