Arthur and George

"How can you make sense of the beginning unless you know the ending?"

I loved this book. It weaves the lives of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and George Edalji into a spellbinding mystery.  These two very different Englishmen become known to each other somewhere in the middle of the book when it becomes clear to them, and the reader, how intricately their lives have been entwined from the beginning when each at a very young age were assaulted with the concept and meaninglessness of Death.  This is my abbreviated take on this wonderful book. Below is a professional and more detailed review.
