This is an important book to read. It is beautifully written. It is a fictional portrayal of real-life Jesuit priests who brought the gospel to Japan in the 1500s. Religious persecution was terrible at that point in history.
It is a hard but great story.
Here are a couple of articles that are helpful as you read this great book:
