The novel is set in the early twentieth century and follows the journey of an immigrant girl from Northern Ireland to Australia.

I want to share that I typed this novel over the course of six years using only one finger because I am confined to a wheelchair and have fine motor skill dysfunction. The story is inspired by the life of my paternal grandmother.(less)

It is about post-WW2 Sicilian Immigration to Australia. And yes, I am typing the manuscript with one shaky finger. I think I am about 1/3 of the way through it. I have been at it for 1.5 years. I might beat my 6-year record!! Thank you for your review. Would you mind checking your star rating?. The GR rating is different than elsewhere.(less)

Harriet Martineau
“You better live your best and act your best and think your best today, for today is the sure preparation for tomorrow and all the other tomorrows that follow.”
― Harriet Martineau

Mother Teresa
“Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier. Be the living expression of God's kindness: kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes, kindness in your smile.”
― Mother Teresa

Barbara W. Tuchman
“Books are the carriers of civilization. Without books, history is silent, literature dumb, science crippled, thought and speculation at a standstill. Without books, the development of civilization would have been impossible. They are engines of change (as the poet said), windows on the world and lighthouses erected in the sea of time. They are companions, teachers, magicians, bankers of the treasures of the mind. Books are humanity in print.

[Bulletin of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, Vol. 34, No. 2 (Nov. 1980), pp. 16-32]”
― Barbara Tuchman

Aidan Lucid
“Why do humans drink something that makes them more dumb?”
― Aidan Lucid, The Lost Son

Diana Jaques
“No one loves it as much as you do” he replied, with a doting smile.”
― Diana Jaques, The Falling Leaves

Hello Wendy! Thanks so much for your kind words and support. You might like THE FIX. It is also on Kindle Unlimited. I have yet to get a paperback copy of your lovely book - Birds in the Nest, I don't have Kindle and funds are low at the moment, but as soon as I read it I will post reviews and let you know. It sounds very interesting! All the best to you, Wendy! Jan


Edmond Thornfield Hello, Wendy! I hope this finds you safe and sound. If you're looking for a good read, I can send you the epub edition of my latest novel, Atalanta of the Wild. Contact me via my author's website. Or if you subscribe to Kindle Unlimited, you can download it directly from there. Let me know.

Cheers!
Edmond

P.S.: I have also started a digital publication where I post essays on literary craft and history of the Aegean Bronze Age and the Italian Renaissance. You can find it on Substack by searching for EXLABYRINTHO.
