An epic story of revenge, following the lives of two men who mistakenly become enemies. I particularly enjoyed the first half of the novel where we learn about the effects of war in their childhoods and how it changed them as people.
This book caused me great sadness. So much left unsaid, so many misunderstandings. The wasted, misspent years that left bitterness to fester where acceptance could and should have crept in. Were these two individuals related, I could have made sense of it all. Goodness knows family dynamics are ...

I don't think so one can ever read a better Fiction than this. What is it that this book didn't have? You can't set any particular genre for it. It had thrill, mystery, drama, contemporary, historical fiction and what not. Oh....! I forgot to mention one thing. It ended with a sense of moral thought...
