Iain Pears - Instance of the Fingerpost Iain Pears Instance of the Fingerpost One story, four perspectives and only one of them tells the whole truth. The beauty of the book is beholden in every written word and is so well done that each of the four narrators is utterly convincing, so much so that at times it's difficult to believe that Iain Pears wrote each one.
Lies are told, revenge is taken, evil unleashed and justice is, after a fashion, served.
Revealing any more would not do justice to a book that has to be one of the best I have read in recent years.
