The Believers: A Novel by Zoë Heller
‘The challenge of modernity is to live without illusions and without becoming disillusioned.’ So begins Zoë Heller’s third novel, The Believers, with the words of Marxist heavyweight Antonio Gramsci.
It’s a nuanced epigraph for a nuanced tale: an observant and unsentimental family drama that pits rationalism against faith (in numerous guises) and thrashes out those doubts, disappointments and unpleasant truths that can leave a person jaded.
