Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Final Decree - George Jonas
I have just submitted Final Decree by George Jonas. The description from the
back cover is:
Kazmer Harcsa, an immigrant carpenter, has worked hard to provide his family
with all the comforts of a modest middle-class life in Toronto, but his
dream is shattered when his young wife leaves him, taking their two children
with her. Kazmer is plunged into a humiliating world of slick divorce
lawyers and incomprehensible court orders, a world where his native wisdom
and wit are mistaken for simple-mindedness. Unable to make anyone understand
his pain, Kazmer feels compelled to take the law into his own hands and seek
his own brand of tragic justice.
In Final Decree, George Jonas has crafted a fascinating and controversial
portrait of a man struggling to maintain his dignity and a legal system that
often doesn't stop long enough to listen to those who file--through its
courtrooms.
