| |  Oxfordshire is the setting for Sylvie’s trilogy of what war and its aftermath do to people. Western Australia also features, but above all war-torn Bosnia. In Another Kind of Loving and Beyond the Broken Gate, waif-like Jasminka from besieged Sarajevo is fostered by Mike and Sara Hennessey in a village in north Oxfordshire. She grows into an English schoolgirl and teenager, falls in love with a young American, returns to Sarajevo with him at the time of 9/11. In the third book, Long Shadows, Mike has to face his true feelings for his foster daughter, now an attractive young woman and single mum, as dark shadows from his youth in the Sixties begin to threaten. And Jasminka must face her true feelings for Mike as she is drawn back to Sarajevo to try and build reconciliation in the wounded city of her birth. Sylvie’s latest book, The Other Side of Silence launched in April 2012, continues the theme of the effects of war, this time concentrating on a lesser-known episode in European 20th-century history and strongly featuring Finland. It tells of two people brought together by searching into their pasts. The four books are £7 each, the trilogy available for £18 for all three |
