Amy Bruno’s Historical Fiction Virtual Book Tours is hosting the release of Lies Told in Silence with a blog tour and book blast. Amy has many stops on the tour and I’m delighted to be releasing my second novel with her. For those who have read Unravelled, Lies Told in Silence is the story of Helene Noisette, Edward Jamieson’s WWI lover. For those unfamiliar with Unravelled, Lies Told in Silence opens in May 1914 Paris, just before the Great War begins.
Available in print at Createspace and in e-bbok at Amazon Kindle.
THE SYNOPSIS
In 1914 Paris, half the city expects war while the other half scoffs at the possibility. Helene Noisette’s father believes war is imminent. Convinced Germany will head straight for Paris, he sends his family to Beaufort, a small village in northern France. But when war erupts a few months later, the German army invades neutral Belgium, sweeping south towards Paris. And by the end of September, Beaufort is less than twenty miles from the front. During the years that follow, with the rumbling of guns ever present in the distance, three generations of women come together to cope with deprivation, fear and the dreadful impacts of war.
In 1917, Helene falls in love with a young Canadian soldier wounded in the battle of Vimy Ridge. But war has a way of separating lovers and families, of twisting promises and dashing hopes, and of turning the naïve and innocent into the jaded and war-weary. As the months pass, Helene is forced to reconcile dreams for the future with harsh reality.
Lies Told in Silence examines love and loss, duty and sacrifice, and the unexpected consequences of lies.
