| Title: | The Yiddish Policeman’s Union |
| Author: | Michael Chabon |
| Genre: | Crime Fiction/Police Procedural/Alternate History |
| Synopsis: | In a remote Jewish community in an alternate history USA a down-and-out detective seeks a murderer, having to push through levels of obstruction and secrecy in an uncertain environment. |
| Verdict: | Beautifully crafted with wonderful turns of phrase and little hints of history and culture scattered about. I loved how Michael Chabon didn’t feel the need to append footnotes or a glossary and just let the reader work out what the different words/terms meant from context or left it up to you whether you wanted to look it up or not. This book sucked me right in. An excellent read. |
