And Ye Shall Be as Gods
Roman Everett
5.0 out of 5 stars Good book
Reviewed in the United States on September 9, 2025
And Ye Shall Be As Gods is a multi-layered novel that weaves personal trauma with historical horrors, creating a narrative that is both intimate and universal.
Our book club had such meaningful discussions about the themes of guilt, silence, and redemption, and the author deserves praise for sparking such depth of conversation.
The symbolism of the word “lampenshirm” and its connection to the Holocaust was one of the most haunting elements, serving as a metaphor for hidden sins that demand confrontation.
Stylistically, the prose is both lyrical and unsettling, drawing the reader into the emotional storms of its characters. For readers who appreciate fiction that challenges and lingers, this book stands out as a powerful achievement.
