The Order Of The Day

"A novel told as a series of short vignettes, Éric Vuillard’s book examines Hitler’s rise to power in Germany through the people who enabled it through their greed, apathy or cowardice. Vuillard’s writing is spare, angry and powerful, and it suffuses the novel with an effective sense of impending doom. It’s a chilling, brilliant look at the rise of fascism in the 1930s that also works as a warning for today."
