Recently I read The Separation by Christopher Priest and I was blown away by the story.
Per the other Wiki, The Separation is an alternate history revolving around the experiences of identical twin brothers during the Second World War, during which one becomes a pilot for the RAF, and the other, a conscientious objector, becomes an ambulance driver for the Red Cross. Priest introduces a deliberate confusion by giving these brothers identical initials – J.L. Sawyer – one known as Jack (the pilot) and the other as Joe (the ambulance driver).
I'm still confused about what happened in the book (especially on Joe's part of the book) so I'll probably have to reread it a couple of times.
Has anyone else read this or any other of Priest's works? I heard he's pretty good with Unreliable Narrators which is one of my favourite tropes.
