Title - A Season of Thunder
Author - Alex Gerrick
Rating - 5/5
This novel examines how unresolved trauma can echo across decades. Inspired by real events, Alex Gerrick has created a narrative driven by memory, secrecy, and the need for truth.
The novel’s central strength is its psychological realism. Gerrick presents a narrator who is painfully self-aware, allowing readers to witness the toll of obsession and guilt. The themes of war, family legacy, and betrayal are handled with restraint.
The vivid descriptions of European cities and post-war landscapes are impressive. The author has managed the pace well. The storyline kept me on the edge of my seat. The narration is so strong that I was pulled into this novel and forgot the real world around me for a while.
This is the first book by Gerrick that I have read. You can read it as a standalone.
Thanks for reading.
