Omschrijving
Allan's lonely life takes an unexpected turn when he discovers love and true friendship. Then along comes a war and his new life is thrown into turmoil.
This is a very powerful and uplifting story. I cried three times as I was swept along with the characters, experiences and events. The story touches on maturity, equality, cultural tolerance, and the value of true friendship. - Kirstie Edwards, BSc Ma PhD PGCE ///// Congratulations on your book. This was a fascinating and moving insight into life, both before and during the conflict in Syria. The extraordinary circumstances of the war, juxtaposed with the aspects of everyday life, such as friendship, love and work, are exemplified beautifully in your story. Your characters are empathetic and nuanced and this encourages the reader to become fully absorbed and follow their journey. - Polly Warren, Editor, CIEP ///// The story has it its fair share of issues - broken UK family, female equality, different religions, no religion, political mayhem, employment, food, terrorism, violence, interracial marriage. WOW, that Allan really gets around. - Gerry Morris, Author/Musician ///// So, if this is the first attempt at a novel, it is commended. The language is varied, and the pace is fast. There's a range of characters, and the horrors are conveyed well. Very well done to the author. - Kate O'callaghan, Head of English, Trinity School
A bit about the author. I spent some years working in Saudi Arabia and Syria on a single status contract, though married. Once retired, myself and my wife resided in Turkey for six years. Working and living with different nationalities and becoming accepted by them was the inspiration for writing this story. Though the events within it are purely fiction, I have drawn upon some of my experiences encountered. Most nationalities I found friendly and honest and, once shown the same respect I desired, we became real friends.
