Shroud by John Banville
An aging, celebrated critic with a long-buried secret is confronted by a troubled young scholar who has uncovered evidence that his identity is a fabrication. Drawn together in Turin, they circle confession and exposure as he recounts a wartime past of betrayal and reinvention while she grapples with her own fragility. The story probes memory, guilt, and the corrosive costs of self-invention and deceit.
