The Cost of Suffering,
By Eric Maroney (Trumansburg, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Himmo, King of Jerusalem (Hardcover)
This novel is almost impossible to get (my library copy was last read in August 1977!) but if you can, this work will provide the reader with a detailed and difficult look at the nature of human suffering. Set in a hospital in besieged Jerusalem in 1948, the characters watch the hopes and aspirations of their lives destroyed by war, injury, and disfigurement (both on a physical and emotional level).
And from this field of ugliness, Kaniuk has created a novel of great beauty and range. He shows that in the depth of ugliness and pain, the human spirit can still spring forth and add more vitality to the world.
