Book Description
Must punishment alone be the balance for crime? Or may forgiveness alone justify the balance?The Two Sons Diptych is both a satire and a parable. As a diptych (pronounced dip'tik), it consists of two stories. In one, a medieval kingdom's stability is threatened by bloody, incestuous rape and murder. In the other, a twentieth-century family is destroyed by adultery, bitter anger, and grief. Are they opposites? Maybe. Anyway, The Two Sons Diptych will change forever the way you view forgiveness. Straightforward simplicity drives the satire into deeply contemplative and incompatible contrasts. Rich imagery with dynamic rhythm and intense passions bring the reader to shocking conclusions. What readers are saying: '...Compelling and engaging. Ector Ward manages to capture the readers' emotions and make them want to finish the stories. ...Clever analogy ... Very thought-provoking ...
