Moonfisher

by Victoria Mosley

A very personal story of WW2 courage in war torn France. A hidden family history, a haunting love story. A dreamscape where past and present collide in WW2 war torn France. Female courage, nasty Nazi's and a haunting love story with a supernatural twist, all make Moonfisher unputdownable. London now. Violet runs a Vintage clothes shop in Hackney, London. She spent an idyllic childhood in rural France where her bedtime stories were full of the exploits of the heroic resistance fighters. Now she is having disturbing dreams, of being chased, by soldiers, of being with a woman whose image resembles her own. Why is it that she looks so familiar and what are the secrets that she wants to share? * France 1943. Anouk is the daughter of the family that owns the local Chateau until the Nazi’s come to claim it. She is Jewish but that never mattered until now. A turn of fate sees her recruited and trained by the SOE, Churchill’s special operations department, and life suddenly becomes dangerous. Her mission is to seduce the dangerous Nazi General, Oberfuhrer Henreich Kleist. Alone and scared she dreams of being in a huge city full of tall glass buildings, she dreams of a girl who looks just like her.

About the author

My books have been ten years in the writing and they are their own genre:-)

I hope you enjoy them and will help me get them out there in the big wide world


As for me:
I grew up in Singapore and Hong Kong which I think influences my writing. I have been a poet ever since I can remember and I have been writing novels for ten years now. Apart from writing I have done many other things in the Arts world including running events and club nights in London and beyond, from the Groucho Club to the ICA, Austin Texas to Indonesia, from Jazz nights and Charity Events to new bands. I have worked for the British Council in Surabaya and in Canada, I have produced and presented my own radio shows.
I've taught my own courses in Creative Writing and Performance at London University and Westminster University amongst others.

I am a traveller and have so far visited 35 countries , but at the moment I live in England by the sea.

Writing is my passion and I am so lucky to be able to do what I love .

A good read.

This wasn't what I was expecting but I thoroughly enjoyed it. I found it quite emotional to think how many people's lives suffered during that era. I'm glad Anouk found happiness in the end. I would recommend this book to both friends and family.

Beautiful story

What an amazing piece of writing, such a beautiful story, that I didn't want it to end. The characters came to life, and seemed so real. Dreaming is a form of communicating, and it was a lovely part of the tale.
