Plot summary, “Absolution” by Patrick Flanery in 4 Minutes - Book Review VIDEO
Absolution, Patrick Flanery’s haunting debut novel, follows reclusive South African author Clare Wald and her biographer Sam Leroux as they navigate the shadows of apartheid-era guilt, memory, and personal betrayal. Set in post-apartheid South Africa, the novel delves into Clare’s troubled past—marked by political violence, personal loss, and family secrets—while Sam’s own hidden connections to her life begin to surface. Through layered storytelling, unreliable narration, and the looming specter of truth and reconciliation, Absolution explores the personal cost of complicity and the complex interplay between fiction and history.
