Synopses & Reviews

Synopsis:

When the Truth Is All That Matters The truth begins with a family evacuated from Saigon during the final days of the Viet Nam War. Or perhaps it begins later, with a devoutly Catholic child with the voice of an angel who is troubled by visions both sacred and profane. Or perhaps later still, with a couple drifting apart following a tragedy. Kelland appears to them all in the guise of a small boy, a lover, a priest...Kelland is an enigma, a puzzle, and an almost imperceptible presence. Kelland is violence, sorrow, and joy. Kelland is the common thread tying five disparate strangers together.

Kelland is an amazing book. It's very well written, with a wonderful cast of characters and a plot that will keep you engrossed throughout. This thought provoking story will take you on a journey through time as the main characters struggle with an evil that no one should ever have to deal with.

There is much sorrow, hate and rage in this story but also love and hope. Paul Bens manages to balance all of the characters and emotions in this gripping debut novel so that even though the story is dark and very painful at times it never overwhelms the reader.

I loved this book and highly recommend it.
