Sir Alfred Dreyfus is in jail, innocent of the charges against him, guilty of a lifetime of denial.
Headmaster of one of Britain's most prestigious schools, knighted for his services to education, he has built a distinguished career whilst carefully concealing his Jewish roots. When he is falsely imprisoned for a horrific crime, he realises it is not just his enemies who have difficulty with his identity.
In the second Alfred Dreyfus Bernice Rubens has created a character of profound and moving humanity; in placing him at the end of our century, she makes his story a tragedy which resonates with its particular and terrible freight of history, bound in with the fate of six million others.
