Title: Once We Were Brothers
Author: Balson, Ronald H.
Sherri’s Read:
“Once We
Were Brothers” by Ronald H. Balson is one of those books that gets you hooked
from the beginning. Mr. Balson story telling keeps you wanting more even at the
end. The main character Ben Soloman is the narrator but more importantly he’s
the storyteller. He pulls in his audience with his memory of his experiences
under Hitler’s rule.
The book
begins with Ben Soloman holding an empty Lugar to get Elliot Rosensweig to
confess to being Otto Piatek, an ex-Nazi commander and executioner to many men,
women, and children during the War.
The main story is told by Ben to
his attorney Catherine Lockharl from whom was recommend to him by Adele Silver
as her friend Liam Taggart suggested. Catherine spends most of her time
listening to Ben’s story. Ben slowly tells her his story so as not to leave out
any detail that would help his case. The story takes many twists and turns with
all the characters only to end up in the United States where justice
prevails.
