I spent four years writing a novel, The Silence in Her Eyes, a psychological thriller. When I finished The German Girl, to give myself a break, I would write Silence. It was my therapy, my way of returning to normalcy. The same happened when I finished The Daughter’s Tale last February: I spent a year finishing up Silence. It takes place in New York, in the present, in my apartment building, in my neighborhood. It begins with a 28-year-old who loses her mother and returns to her apartment, alone, for the first time. She is blind to movement. When she was an eight years-old, the world around here literally came to a standstill. She suffers from akitenopsia, a strange yet reversible neurological illness. She sees the world around as still images, she registers movement as trails of light. That night after her mother passed away, she’s all alone and her world takes a turn from which she will never recover.
Right now I'm writing The Night Traveler (2022). I’m taking some time to finish the last part of my WWII trilogy and hopefully give my readers a respite with The Silence in Her Eyes. Well, a sort of break, because I’m sure that with Silence.. some wont’ be able to sleep for a few days.

I just wanted you to know that I really liked The Daughter's Tale. What a sad period of our history. Thank you for bringing this story to the attention of the world. Oh, it won't let me leave a comment unless I have a question mark. I'd like to know more about the research involved in putting the story together?

I just read The Night Travelers, and I was so moved. It is so difficult to read about the atrocities committed against the innocent, but I loved the strength in your characters and how these women were so connected. Thank you for your wonderful book. I was wondering why Lilith and the Herzogs were allowed off the ship when they arrived in Cuba. Presumably they were on the St. Louis. Why were they not turned away?

I just finished the German Girl and absolutely loved it! Thank you. Quick questions . . . Why did Alma choose to stay in Cuba with Hannah until her death rather than emigrate to the US? And why was Alma allowed to travel to NY to give birth to Louis? Why didn't she remain in NY and send for Hannah?
