In all her strange tale of hate and passion the author has never flinched, and the result is a little masterpiece of the ugly and the sordid. Absolution was written by Clara Emma Amalia Viebig first published in English in 1908. Clara Emma Amalia Viebig (July 17, 1860–July 31, 1952) was a German author. She published many works such as Sleeping Army. However, in 1936 her publications became forbidden by the Third Reich because her husband was Jewish. As Viebig was related to Hermann Goering she herself wasn't persecuted.
An absolutely devastating book. I was hoping for a bit more "pow!" at the end, but it was a disturbing and heartbreaking story that will stay with me for a while.
