Author Sylvie Nickels is pleased to announce her new release, a modern historical romance, The Other Side of Silence.
Pippa Eastman has an uneasy relationship with her authoritarian father and historian, Joseph. She escapes it by emigrating to Australia and forming there a pleasant but superficial partnership with Jude. The book’s theme is Pippa’s growing affection and respect for her father as she researches his past. The historic scenes of the Finnish-Russian Winter War of 1939-40 contrast with Pippa’s life in present-day Middle England, modern Finland, a visit to a slave camp in Germany, and Australia. Jude, too, is chasing the truth behind his father’s desertion and alcoholism, and their respective searches bring them closer together.
From Bookbag review site: “(This) shone a light into a little-known period of history and I was so involved that I ended up with my old school atlas open so that I could track what had happened.”
Self-published by Oriole Press in May 2012. Available from Amazon as paperback and ebook. Learn more about author Sylvie Nickels and her writing at her Amazon author page.
