Why read it?

1 author picked Give the Devil His Due as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I like the historical setting of Gentil’s books (mainly 1930s Australia, although her characters venture overseas in a couple of the books) and the original newspaper clippings that introduce the chapters, which give you a glimpse of current affairs that form the backdrop to the story.
