Remote Sympathy

Set in Nazi Germany, Remote Sympathy tells the story of a lonely woman whose devotion to her dog becomes a quiet act of resistance. Chidgey approaches the period obliquely, focusing on domestic detail rather than grand politics. The novel examines complicity, denial, and moral blindness. Small choices take on heavy ethical weight. The tone is restrained and unsettling. A subtle, disquieting exploration of ordinary life under totalitarianism.
