Silence by Shūsaku Endō
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Another book recommendation from my son Coco & his college reading days. This was a very powerful book (historical fiction) about the widespread persecution in Japan during the 1600s that broke out against the Jesuits/Catholics. A movie is being made of this book--starring Liam Neeson--that is due out in late 2016; looking forward to seeing it and how they bring the story to the screen.
