He is conflicted over the simple good from his days as a friar with the evil of Nazi Germany. Even though the blackness of evil tears apart their country, their villages, and their families, the protagonist Anton Starzmann takes a real leap of faith in this the dangerous and uncertain dark world of Hitler’s Germany.Īnton, the main character, is haunted by his actions, his perceived failings and weaknesses while he was a Franciscan friar. Olivia Hawker has given us a gripping, beautifully written historical novel about extraordinary hope, redemption, and one man’s search for light during the darkest times of World War II in Germany. I read “The Ragged Edge of Night” as my September the store First Read pick.
