The book Silence, by Shusaku Endo.
An engaging style. A well-rounded descriptive flavor. Deep character development. A pathos rarely probed, the likes of Dostoyevsky. A challenging but respectful approach to religious themes. I highly recommend this book, the best fiction I have read in a long time.

"in time of persecution the strong are burned in the flames and drowned in the sea; but the weak...lead a vagabond life in the mountains. As for you (I now spoke to myself) which category do you belong to?"
