Via Mala

VIA MALA is a book of real characters and vivid force, a novel of power and beauty which leave a deep impression….The author, John Knittel, is an interesting writer and in “Viva Mala” the descriptions he uses to describe his obviously beloved Switzerland are nothing but pure reading. He seems to be painting landscapes with words. The hardship of humble people in the Grisons area in the 30’s is highly evocative. The plot and suspense are well written and will keep you engrossed for hours… (less)
