THE RETURNED by Jason Mott

Finished Th 4/17/14

Ann recommended this novel at the last meeting of the Contemporary Book Club. I loved this novel!  Watched the French TV series, Season I, 'Les Revenants', and streamed the French film, 'They Came Back'.

All of these works of fiction examine the problem of  resurrection or 'coming back from the dead' without the ghoulish nonsense of the Zombie Genre.

I skimmed through DEATH WITH INTERRUPTIONS by Jose Saramago (Portuguese novelist) which is probably the most deft at delving into this problem. Will re-read this one at a later date.
