Spanning the tumultuous years 1934 to 1948, John Lawton's A Lily of
the Field is a brilliant historical thriller from a master of the
form. The book follows two characters--Meret Voytek, a talented
young cellist living in Vienna at the novel's start, and Dr. Karel
Szabo, a Hungarian physicist interned in a camp on the Isle of Man.
In his seventh Inspector Troy novel, Lawton moves seamlessly from
Vienna and Auschwitz to the deserts of New Mexico and the
rubble-strewn streets of postwar London, following the fascinating
parallels of the physicist Szabo and musician Voytek as fate takes
each far from home and across the untraditional battlefields of a
destructive war to an unexpected intersection at the novel's close.
The result, A Lily of the Field, is Lawton's best book yet, an
historically accurate and remarkably written novel that explores
the diaspora or two Europeans from the rise of Hitler to the
post-atomic age.
