The dictator

Layton, David 1964- (author.).

Summary: A novel about an estranged father and son forced together under the same roof - one losing his grip on reality and the other discovering a secret past that he may never fully understand. With a deft touch and a wonderful ability to show the humorous in the tragic, David Layton has created a novel that explores the relationship between fathers and sons, and how the events of the past translate down through generations. Told from the alternating perspectives of Karl and Aaron, and travelling from present-day Toronto to a postwar settlement of Jewish immigrants in the Dominican Republic.
