The Shadow Of The Mole - 2022

The multiple points of view, timeframes, and scenes are not confusing and actually enhance the surreal feelings of the prose and intent to get a strong message across. There is also the stark portrayal of war that is at once horrifying, sad, and yet does not extinguish hope. (….)The outer story analyses and supports the inner story: it is a trieste on the mysteries of the psyche and of choices and results, and most importantly justifications. This book was years in the making, yet the correlations with the situation in the Ukraine are undeniable.(…) all of the war scenes, were done by a master.

My favorite line: "The curtain of the stage has been ripped...He's on wings between two worlds and sees other things than I." Please read the book to understand the beauty behind this.....

The ending was amazing and really ties up the story. Bob's books are about the only reads where I ENJOY the feeling of being confused(I mean this in the very best sense!) And its because I know it will all tie in. It really keeps me wanting to read more. (…)An amazing book which focuses heavily on the treatment of people with shell shock during the time of WW1, and how they were viewed. Once again, a fantastic, gritty tale, of mystery, love and even hate. A great change to many war fiction books I have read.

The narrator does an amazing job. I really enjoy Historical fiction. I must say I wasn’t too sure what I was listening to. But I am glad that I continued on listening. What a crazy and interesting read! I have to say towards the ending this audio book made a turn I didn’t foresee. (…)I highly recommend this book.

What a remarkably unique story in The Shadow of the Mole by Bob van Laerhoven. (…)A definite attention grabber, so much I couldn't put it down. Both thrilling and intriguing, all the way to the end. Masterfully written!

THE SHADOW OF THE MOLE by Bob Van Laerhoven is a dark and intriguing historical fiction/mystery set in France during WWI. (…)I feel this is more literary fiction with the continual psychiatric analysis of The Mole, his writing, and Michel’s thoughts on the self. That is not a negative criticism, just a heads up to readers who are looking for more of a genre style historical mystery. The settings are descriptive and the emotions palpable in both the story as told by Michel in present day and The Mole’s writing of his life. An interesting read. 

Avonna loves genres: https://avonnalovesgenres.com/book-tour-feature-post-and-book-review-the-shadow-of-the-mole-by-bob-van-laerhoven/

(…)I was surprised to see that this holds a story within a story, and I loved this addition. It's done in a unique way, I feel, as it's not just the story being written to ease the mind of a tortured, amnesiac patient. It's also a story of that same patients past, coming out and forcing his acknowledgement. So you not only have a dual timeline, but also a dual perspective. It's beautifully written and very well done. (…)I highly recommend this one for fans of historical fiction and books that deal with memory loss. I don't think you'll be disappointed. Be ready when picking this up as it's not a quick and easy read. It's one that will have you wrapped up and lost in the tortured mind of "The Mole".

Angel (Bookn.All.Night)’s review – Goodreads https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/4719865909

Shadow of the Mole by Bob Van Laerhoven is another exciting novel by a skilled writer. (…) was not entirely sure how I was going to like this novel, I usually avoid stories involving real wars, as I are a bit on the sensitive side, however, having read a book by Bob Van Laerhoven I decided I would do myself a discredit if I did not read it. And even more luckily, they offered me an audiobook. This allowed me to not only enjoy the story but also experience and amazing narrator which honestly helped me understand many of the French words this book has, and it has a lot of them, on a level that I probably would not have grasped if I was just reading it myself.The Shadow of the Mole is a must read, or listen, for anyone looking for an exciting war time thriller.

Tawny Molina – Books and Games - https://books-and-games.com/2022/07/31/the-shadow-of-the-mole-book-review/

The people observing an amnesiac may be so obsessed with putting together that puzzle that their identity is caught up with the one who has amnesia. They may put the amnesiac into an identity that they create and has nothing to do with the reality of who that person really was. The amnesiac may never get their real identity and memory back and are left with what they are told, leaving them a complete stranger to themselves. That concept is explored in Bob Van Laerhoven's Shadow of the Mole, an absorbing dark psychological mystery about a World War I era patient with amnesia and the obsessive nature of his doctor to find out who he really is.(…)  Like in many books that feature a story within a story, it is the past story, in this case Alain's, that is is the most interesting, gripping, and unforgettable. What is rather interesting about The Mole's writings is the intentional literariness of it (…)
Perhaps since the Mole has amnesia, the mysterious Romanys in his story exist because he hallucinated them or they reflected the gaps in his memory. They may be more than a plot device. They may just be the parts that the Mole doesn't remember or doesn't want to remember. They may represent the darker forgotten parts of the Mole's mind that he chooses to suppress. (…)Reading this story actually works its way into Denis' mind as well. He is living in a world torn apart by War. Discovering The Mole's identity and getting to the truth of Alain's story becomes more important to him than anything or anyone else. He develops a relationship with a woman that fizzles because of his obsession. He makes questionable decisions that puts his career in jeopardy. He wants to find sense in a world that is losing its grip on reality and sends young men around the world to fight other young men.

Julie Porter – Bookworm Reviews - Amazon.com and Goodreads - https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/4815878225?book_show_action=true&from_review_page=1

 Bob van Laerhoven is a quite exceptional novelist. And this shocking, moving and profoundly intriguing book, newly translated into English, may be his best work yet. (…)The wartime story is compelling, and Bob van Laerhoven populates it with solid people whose uniqueness lingers in the mind. A nurse who loves Denis but cannot get close to him. A prostitute. Soldiers. A senior doctor. Patients in the psychiatric hospital out of the battle line. All of them have stories that are told or hinted at and reach back into time and forward into the mind of the reader. (…)Woven into this story, breaking in and out of it like dreams when waking, there is also the story being written by The Mole. A fantasy, and adventure, an account historic meetings in nineteenth century Vienna. A story about obsession, betrayal, subterfuge, psychoanalysis, secrets.(…) This is a novel with a huge depth and breadth. Exquisitely written by a master story teller, and entirely unforgettable.

Carly Rheilan -  Goodreads- https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/4883164734

 This is such an interesting story. (…)the WWI backdrop was refreshing. I usually read WWII historical fiction and this one felt different and it was great. I enjoyed the psychology aspects dealing with shell shock (today known as PTSD) which is so much different from dealing with mental health today. This books allows us to see the differences between mental healthcare today and back then.

Jess – dapper.reads’ review - https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/4842640474 

This is likely the most “cerebral” read for me this year and also the most challenging for me to review. (…)The plot is told from multiple perspectives and time frames(…)As the story unfurls, the histories of each character are skillfully detailed in flashbacks that I initially found jarring, but later I grew to appreciate. The flashbacks are structured in that manner with purpose and the prose was excellent. (…)The author’s European sensibility is very pronounced in this work, which I find intriguing because it is so foreign to my own different generational and American experience. I think that this book is not for the casual reader, but I would highly recommend it to a more highly educated or well-read audience in search of solid historical fiction with a supernatural twist.

Jerry’s review – Goodreads - https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/4704136946

Reality and the inventions of the mind intertwine in many levels in The Shadow of the Mole.(…) The Shadow of the Mole is a complex, challenging, demanding book, delving into the labyrinth of the human mind, of questions of reality and fantasy, of cruelty intentional and random, of free will and fate, of how we interpret our world through the apparent duality of science and mythos. The writing is evocative; the imagery sometimes horrifying, and the ending chilling. A book that will stay with me for a long time, for the quality of its writing and because it made me think.

Writer Marian Thorpe – Amazon.com – Goodreads – marianthorpe.com - https://marianlthorpe.com/2022/08/01/the-shadow-of-the-mole/

The absolutely profound The Shadow Of The Mole by exemplary someday Nobel Prize Laureate winner Bob Van Laerhoven is a genre defying story within a story that will leave you emotionally drained and in awe of this author. (…)Narrator Martyn Swain weaves through this modern day classic with grace and subtlety as the author's words paints a real picture of the hubris of humans to fight wars believing others' lives are worth the loss and the lasting effects to the mind are worth the price

Linda McCutcheon – Amazon.com – Goodreads  https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/60422637-the-shadow-of-the-mole?ac=1&from_search=true&qid=i7nhR9NAod&rank=1

A very intriguing premise and a well-executed plot. Although I don't normally read war-time novels I thought this one was very compelling and I enjoyed it because the mystery took centre stage so it's more a thriller than an historical fiction book. The dual timeline was well done, and I enjoyed both subplots; the diary was so well written, with vivid descriptions and fascinating theories to support the Mole's belief that he is dead and inhabited by another being.

Evelina – My MidnightBooks - https://www.instagram.com/p/CgtPcRUIW2k/

This book perfectly captures the grisly horrors of the war and what life was like in the trenches. The lead characters have been on this long conveyor belt of treating and attempting to treat the wounded and the dying for so long that they have become completely desensitised to the nature of war and the value of human life. We see through several characters eyes how the wounded (both mentally and physically) were viewed with a dehumanising, cold contempt which I found particularly jarring. One thing I really enjoyed about the book was how deeply it examined the human psyche, blurring the lines between what was real and projected, and between reality and delusion. The stories of the different characters were so closely aligned that they seemed to melt into each other at certain points, with different characters adding their own interpretations leaving the actual events that occurred open ended to the reader.This is the second book I have read by this author, and his wonderfully captivating writing style along with solidly visual backdrops are a pleasure to read. Although this was predominately set in the war, there were supernatural elements to the story as well as an intriguing noire style series of events leading up to the beginning of WW1.

 The most intriguing book I've read in years.I'm blown away by this. Set in France in the First World War and in Vienna at the end of the previous century, it's a moving story with a dual timeline and stories within stories, woven of many threads that wind around one another and tighten to a gordian knot. Terrible realities and terrible fantasies interlock and explode into a riveting conclusion. A breathtaking read that made the hair stand up on the back of my neck.

Dark – Amazon.com and Goodreads - https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/60422637-the-shadow-of-the-mole

 Everything is broken in this story.  Through world war I, the old world which figures in some of the Mole’s writing is crumbling  and never to return. The present is an explosion of nightmare. Bob van Laerhoven, who has written as a travel writer from many modern conflict zones, is unflinching in his description of the horrors of this time.   Human beings are being torn apart.  Those who survive will never be quite whole again. Loyalty, morality, aspiration: all are being stretched until they shatter. (…)It is an almost overwhelming read.  It closes but cannot heal the wounds that it uncovers.

The Hard Hat Book Site : Amazon.co.uk – Goodreads https://thehardhatbooksite.home.blog/2022/07/30/the-shadow-of-the-mole/

A deeply intriguing and thought provoking novel exploring the early concepts of psychology and the effects of warfare on the human mind.  Equally, the book explores the mind’s ability to close out past memories during times of stress – who is the mole, what is his story and what led up to his being found in the mine?All in all, a very deep and thought provoking book that flowed past and was easy to follow either whilst cooking or running – it took little effort to follow the story line. Wonderfully written, the prose is beautifully constructed and the story was engrossing.  I haven’t read work from this author before but was really drawn to it.  A great read/listen to fans of historical fiction particularly those with an interest in the mental impact of warfare.

ThePursuitOfBookiness  -  https://www.thepursuitofbookiness.co.uk/home/review-shadow-of-the-mole

Although set in WWI this isn’t what you’d expect from a historical fiction novel, and that really makes it stand out. I’d say it’s almost more psychological thriller in some ways, but no matter what category you drop it in, it’s very well written. The descriptions make it seem like a movie is unfolding before you. A mysterious man with amnesia, the tragedy and horrors of war, and a strange tale that unfolds via automatic writing. The characters had great depth, and the story had plenty of twists and turns as it moved along, keeping you hooked and wanting to read more. Highly recommended for thriller lovers!

 The Shadow Of The Mole is a wartime historical fiction unlike any I’ve ever read before.(….) I absolutely loved the immersion into WWI-era Europe from this humbling perspective, and as a former university level student of British 20th century wartime history, I didn’t find anything to be distractingly wrong about the events going on around the characters that didn’t otherwise fit the story. (…)Overall I do think the story is very well written and the mystery presented by the character of The Mole is fascinating. If you like wartime historical fiction, you need to give this one a try!

Westveil Publishing - https://www.westveilpublishing.com/?p=17157&fbclid=IwAR0pkrmfSDuQPHXQA3XLxnAvEZsJXhjX74AlKWdilOABjfNrtBOVeRzfYW4

This story was definitely well written and researched.(…)With the war raging on, there is devastation, destruction and so much more(…) You can really feel the intense times and the sadness that comes with war. This was one incredibly story!

The Shadow of the Mole is a very intriguing story that will hold your attention from beginning to end. It will keep you hanging on trying to figure out all its secrets as well as who this Mole is and if he is telling the truth or not. (…)The Shadow of the Mole takes you deep into the depths of war with some very descriptive stories. The Shadow of the Mole will keep you wondering what the truth actually is. Is the story real or is it just a figment of someone’s imagination?

To do full justice to this novel would require a very long review (even by my standards, and I do tend to go on a bit), perhaps even a whole book, but I will try and cover a few aspects of it while not spoiling it for readers. To be honest, although there is a mystery (well, mysteries) in this book, there are many interpretations possible, and I have no doubt that reading it will be a complex and unique experience for each and every reader. (…)The novel is a kaleidoscope of narratives, perspectives, opinions, true events, dreams, imagination... and the veil separating all those is very thin indeed. (…)Everything is somehow related, and every piece of the puzzle is necessary for the final reveal (which I won’t talk about). As I had mentioned psychiatry and my interest in it, for those who might feel as intrigued as I am, there are wonderful references to the early figures of the history of psychiatry, important psychiatric texts, famous cases... which I thoroughly enjoyed, but more than anything, I loved the discussions between Michel and Dr. Ferrand, who is a man and a professional with great insight and with ideas well before his time. His comments about the nature of psychiatry and the way it might evolve are both beautiful and thought-provoking. Talking about beautiful, the writing is gorgeous. The different sections are written in very different styles, as it befits the characters doing the writing within the story, but they are all compelling, feel true, and are powerfully descriptive. We might be reading about a bombing, a sexual assault (yes, this book is not a light read, quite the opposite, and readers should be warned about the dark nature of the story), a historical event, or a beautiful landscape, and we feel as if we had a first-row seat, even though sometimes we’d rather be anywhere else. Reading the biography of the author is easy to understand how all he writes rings so true, as he has lived and witnessed extremes of human behaviour most of us will never (luckily) have to confront. (…)The book includes poems, quotes from famous (and not so famous) books, songs... some in French and German, and these are translated in a series of notes easily accessible, even in e-book format. I recommend this book to readers looking for deep meanings, who love historical fiction that goes beyond the usual, who are prepared to face the darker aspects of human behaviour and the human soul, and to anybody looking for a new author who is not afraid to move beyond convention and to make us face some dark truths. A complex and rich book for those who dare to ask some tough questions. I hope it helps you find the answers you were looking for.

I love a good period piece, especially one in WWI, and Van Laerhoven does a fantastic job of capturing the nuances of the time and the at home effects of the Great War. This was a fantastic mystery that takes some really unexpected twists and turns! If you love war stories that are more focused on the homefront or tense psychological mysteries, definitely head over there with The Shadow of the Mole!

Joshua Grant - https://diabolicshrimp.com/reviews-3/ -Goodreads - Amazon

One of the best reads I have this year! (…)A novel of mystery and historical fiction, highlighting mental health and psychiatry in the context of the gory and challenges of war. Each chapter encourages a reader to unravel interesting things of a human mind and even to learn French folk songs, words and phrases. Various literary devices are skillfully used by the Author in writing narratives: flashback, allegory, epistolary, epigrams, mentioning of archetypes among others. The above devices pave the context, depicting the main story so realistic, haunting, nostalgic, raging, and gruesome! However, it never fails to give a picture of how to be humane in the most provocative times- there is the countenance of love and compassion as well. (…)The Shadow of The Mole is complex and evocative. Conversely, it has a plain and meaningful message to all of us. One has to read this book to empathize with and to realize what it is. (…)A relevant trouvaille and a must-read book in the light of the current worldwide situation and restlessness.(….)

Hats off Author Bob Van Laerhoven, thank you for sharing your creativity through this book with us. Flourish one of the brilliant minds in this generation!

Zea Aya Perez – Goodreads - https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/5111570412

I’ve always been fascinated by history – past events, different attitudes and customs, and the impact these have on modern times. Equally I find psychology fascinating and studied it for my A levels, my mother is also a psychiatric nurse so I grew up with it! The Shadow of the Mole jumped out at me as something I’d like to read for both these reasons.(...)Although a little slow-paced, The Shadow of The Mole is deeply immersive and van Laerhoven clearly knows his military and psychological history well. Weaving through traumatic events, ‘The Mole’s’ writing, and psychiatric theory; we as the reader are challenged at every moment. Entrenched in the theories of the time Michel and other doctors analyse these fascinating stories that have many normal moments but also clear influences from mythology and some of the more interesting psychiatric theories of the time (I’m looking at you, Freud and Jung).

Verdict: A fascinating deeply immersive look at early 20th-century psychology, the impacts of war, and what it means to be human.

Krissy’s Booked: https://krissysbooked.wordpress.com/2022/12/16/review-the-shadow-of-the-mole/

It was, in my opinion, a beautifully written book. I found the writing very powerful, and everything within the book was brought to life. Colours, sounds, emotions. Everything was described in a way that moved me while I was reading.

I felt very connected to the main character, and aware of his pain, and how his situation impacted him, both physically and emotionally. The story was saddening to read, and at the same time, joyful, because I was so drawn into it. Whenever I read historical fiction, I expect it to stimulate my imagination and provide an escape, which was certainly what this book did.

Kelly Marie Purdy – Goodreads - https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/5167595968?book_show_action=false

 Bob Van Laerhoven's The Shadow of the Mole is an intriguing and compelling historical thriller that has left readers both baffled and in awe. This beautifully written, thought-provoking story deals with the complex themes of loss, suffering, and the psychological traumas of war. The author also includes the challenges of a complicated, budding love affair in the difficult times of war. The novel employs symbolism heavily and also explores themes of the supernatural along with sexual themes. (...)Throughout the course of this extraordinary story, deception and reality go hand in hand, and people's minds are tested to their limits right to the end. The most pressing question raised is, "when, how, and why does reality shift into delusion?" The story's climax is equally dramatic: a truly cinematic experience that thoroughly engages the reader until the very last page, leaving them questioning what they believe to be true. I recommend this book to those who enjoy historical fiction and thrillers, for I can assure you that this novel will be unlike any other you have read!

Literary Titan: Five Stars.

"The Shadow of the Mole" is a historical fiction psychological thriller set within the trenches of warfare and a man's unsettled mind. 

(…)Author Bob Van Laerhoven masterfully weaves a story within a story that taunts the reader until the final sentence. "The Shadow of the Mole" is action-packed and fast-paced but requires attention to detail. The reader is entering the mind of someone deeply affected by the traumas of war, unable to grasp reality, creating disturbing fairytales in their head. The stories unravel and intertwine through flashbacks, personal letters, journal entries, songs, poetry, and a psychiatrist's diary. These documents seem to be written by someone well-educated yet tormented. They are beautiful, but also full of the ominous feeling of being trapped in madness. 

"The Shadow of the Mole" is powerfully irresistible and thought-provoking. The writing style is eloquent, full of eeriness, and symbolism that requires the reader to slow down and absorb what they have witnessed unfold. I was moved when Laerhoven defined war as…" an all-consuming and putrefying disease in itself, a monster devouring its young, gangrene of the mind." The scene setting and character development are remarkable. I could almost feel the fear as the infantry was bombed while retreating. The journal entries are another dark world to unravel in the search for sanity. 

I highly recommend "The Shadow of the Mole" to anyone that enjoys historical fiction, the psychology of warfare, or twisted tales that will keep you thinking long after the last page read. Five Stars

Leigh Kimberly Zoby- Reader Views Book Blog - https://readerviewsarchives.wordpress.com/2023/01/13/the-shadow-of-the-mole-van-laerhoven/

This was a really fascinating read. A beautifully written and very well-researched novel that explores the psychological impact of war. The detailed descriptions and vivid imagery had you right there in the trenches of WW1, in the hospitals on the front and in the asylum.

 Told from multiple points of view and time frames the story slowly unfolds. I particularly enjoyed the characters of Michel Denis and nurse Marie. The Mole's diaries were a fantastic touch. Whilst quite dense and a lot to unpack at times the unfolding mystery of who is the Mole and the psychology behind his story kept me glued to the storyline. A solid novel and I look forward to reading more by this author.

I don't usually read a lot of historical fiction but when I found The Shadow of the Mole I decided to give it a try. I also like reading books written by authors from other countries. It gives me a different perspective on just about everything, including history.

What makes this book such a great read is the addition of the mystical, the magical, the uncanny. And a look back at the beginning of psychiatry. It's easy to forget that what we know now wasn't always known.

And supposed experts needed to start somewhere. It's also a great reminder that even though we've made much advancement in the field there will always be room to learn more. I have no idea if this was the intent of the author when he wrote this book but that's the beauty of writing. Depending on the reader's perspective each book takes on a life of its own.

Laerhoven did an excellent job taking the reader back to the hell of WWI but from the perspective of the French soldiers. It was heartbreakingly realistic and included animals and the part they played in the war and the lives of the main characters.

It was also nice to read a book with characters who remain flawed and lost. Because, let's face it, a character in a novel who becomes completely enlightened by the end is about as realistic as a character in a movie who solves all his problems in an hour and a half.

I don't think we'll ever know everything there is to know about how the human mind works which is why novels like this one are so important. We will only continue to learn and make progress in the field of psychiatry if we keep asking questions and taking a hard look at why we do the things we do.

So if you're looking for a novel with mystery, perfectly flawed characters who are willing to do the hard work, and a side of psychiatry The Shadow of the Mole is the book for you!

C.J Langer -  https://cjlanger.wordpress.com/2022/12/19/review-the-shadow-of-the-mole-by-bob-van-laerhoven/

 I enjoyed the multiple timelines and POVs as well as the story within a story with the moles diary. I listened to the audio and this is one you have to have your full attention on. Everything was really thought out and every detail had a purpose. I loved the mystery of who the mole and the ending pulled everything together. It was well written and sucked me into that time period. At times it got a tiny bit confusing but that is because my mind wondered.

Sahras.Bookish.Reviews – Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/p/CmW9e9qvnC-/

 While war stories are not usually my jam, this was a surprisingly engaging story, full of symbolism, imagery, and thematic premises about life and death, memory and recall, what is real and what is not. It is definitely a book to savor, with a notepad at hand, because I found so many quotes to be thought-provoking. One that stuck with me the most early in the book: The desire to live is a disease. When you think about how typically diseases consume and destroy, you stop and say, whoa. The Mole's writings in the gray notebook are a book within this book, bordering on eclectic poetry. But this entire book has a level of depth that isn't for the typical reader of historical fiction. Yes, it's based during WWI, and there are graphic depictions of war, but there are so many more layers to this story that require a certain level of cerebral depth to say you enjoy it fully. I would reread this more leisurely to capture the nuances because there was a lot to unpack.
