How much would one's self would one sacrifice for Mercy? Would one's self be sacrificed if Mercy were obtained? What if showing Mercy ostracizes one from one's community? Where does Faith fit into all this? Where is God when his Believers suffer in his name?
This is a powerful book. Father Rodrigues struggles with his Faith as he witnesses suffering and atrocities. Based on a true period of time in Japan with, I believe, some real life characters this book powerfully shows the confusion and helplessness of the times.
