Members Reviews:

Very enjoyable

5 stars for this title, the first I've read by Daisy Styles, I hope audible do more of hers, read by Anne Dover. The characters are really likeable even though there's quite a few to keep track of. The story lines are all thorough and believable. Sad for it to end.

Brilliant

I really enjoyed this book the narration is clear & the wonderful characters are warm and familiar

A lovely war book with great happenings

Love reading war books and learning of the experiences the people at the time went though. If you like such stories I certainly recommend this book. Great narrator.

Convincingly realistic

Wonderful book, well written and well read. You can easily believe you are in the thick of the action. The emotions are raw and made me cry. The first book ever to have done so. This is my second Daisy Styles book and I have already downloaded the next book. Cant wait for more books.

A very good story of life and loves during the war. wonderful characters. Off to look for another Bomb Girls book

Title: The Shadow of War

Subtitle: 1914

Author: Stewart Binns

Narrator: Richard Burnip

Format: Unabridged

Length: 15 hrs and 47 mins

Language: English

Release date: 04-06-16

Publisher: Oakhill Publishing

Genres: Fiction, Historical

Publisher's Summary:

June 1914. The beginning of another long, prosperous summer for Britain. But beneath the clear skies, the chill wind of social discontent swirls around this sceptred isle.

Shots ring out in a distant European land - the assassination of a foreign aristocrat. From that moment the entire world is propelled into a conflict unlike any seen before. This is the story of five British communities, their circumstances very different, but who will all share in the tragedy that is to come.

Critic Reviews:

"Anyone with even a vague interest in Britain and the Great War should read Shadow of War." (Celia Sandys, granddaughter of Winston Churchill)

"An epic...the book on the conflict remembered this year 100 years on." (Sunday Sport)

"Stewart Binns has produced a real page-turner, a truly stunning adventure story." (Alastair Campbell)

"A fascinating mix of fact, legend and fiction...this is storytelling at its best." (Daily Mail)

"The whole thing is a tour de force of writing brilliance, and it's great to know that in five years' time, Stewart will have delivered a book for each of the first world war years. A totally enjoyable experience, a brilliant start to a terrific project." (Books Monthly)

Members Reviews:

The author is knowledgeable about WWI, but his writing style is uninspired. Worthwhile for the history addict, but not for the casual reader.

World War I in vibrant detail!

The Shadow of War is Stewart Binnâs newest novel, the first of several that will cover the years that span World War I as it pertains to Britain. It takes place in a relatively short time frame, from June to December 1914, the months leading up to the start of the Great War. In this opening novel, Binns introduces the reader to several characters of diverse social ranks, roles, and genders, and some of the key politicians of the era. In the authorâs usual easy style of writing, he relays the facts that led up to the conflict, so this is very much a story of the war as experienced by his main characters.

He has written a very factual fictionalized tale that gave me a glimpse into the era and how the war affected those directly or indirectly involved. It took me several chapters to âget intoâ the book, but then it truly caught and held my interest. It is truly a book that educates while entertaining, a talent of this bestselling author.

For those who would love to learn more about the Great War, and Britainâs role in it, then this is a good book to start with. Very interesting and definitely recommended!

Not a bad read at all but be aware the 5 volume ...

Not a bad read at all but be aware the 5 volume of WW1 stops at Volume 2 The Darkness & the Thunder. No point in buying the first two volumes give 3-5 will never be written

Release date: 03-25-16

Publisher: Bolinda Publishing Pty Ltd

Publisher's Summary:

Fever at Dawn is a love story for the ages. Based on the letters of the author's parents, it's a sad and joyous tale that will stay with you long after its happy ending.

In July 1945, Miklós, a Hungarian survivor of Belsen, arrives in a refugee camp in Sweden. He is skin and bone, and has no teeth. The doctor says he has only months to live. But Miklós has other plans. He acquires a list of 117 young Hungarian women who are also in refugee camps in Sweden, and he writes a letter to each of them - obsessively, in his beautiful hand, sitting in the shade of a tree in the hospital garden.

One of those young women, he is sure, will become his wife. In a camp hundreds of kilometres away, Lili reads his letter. Idly, she decides to write back. Letter by letter, the pair fall in love.

In December 1945 they find a way to meet. They have only three days together, and they fall in love all over again. Now they have to work out how to get married while there is still time....

This story really happened.

Members Reviews:

A Great Story, beautifully told

Peter Gardos' book about his father's experience after having survived the concentration after WWII has totally charmed and held me in interest from beginning to end of the book. His communication of his father's most charming way of falling in love with his future wife (the writer's mother) held my interest throughout the book. I believe Peter Gardos is in the process of finishing the film he has made of this enchanting story. I wish him and the film the success it deserves.

I couldn't put this book down

This touching book is very well written and is full of human interest. It shows how love can grow and flourish even amidst horrific circumstances. I could not put this book down.

A marvelous book

Loved the intimacy, the building of the relationship, the courage - the book truly is an inspiration and a nurture for the soul

Lovely and suspenseful

A good story and then it is true, written from the author's parents letters after wwII....

Great condition.

Arrived as promised. Great condition.

Irruente e testarda, una vera calamita che attrae guai, Juliana Fiori si rifiuta di giocare secondo le regole della società.

Résumé de l'éditeur:

Au XIXe siècle, le périple d'une Française exilée en terre slave. Un destin tumultueux et aventurier marqué par un amour inconditionnel pour la Russie.

"L'hiver revint avec ses troïkas, les chevaux résistant aux intempéries, frangés de glace, et soufflant des jets de fumée. Une foule massée sur les tribunes autour de cet immense champ nacré qu'était la Neva emprisonnée sous les glaces assistait aux courses de traîneaux sur patins d'acier. Sur la perspective Nevski, le collet relevé, en bonnet fourré et longue houppelande, les portiers enlevaient la glace. Ils veillaient ainsi toute la nuit."

1868. On suit les traces d'une petite Française, Blonde, qui s'exile en Russie avec son père négociant en soie et en lin. Sa découverte du pays est un enchantement : Moscou, Saint-Pétersbourg, la campagne russe... Protégée par la grande-duchesse, elle devient pensionnaire à l'institut impérial Smolny, puis élève du grand Rimski-Korsakov au Conservatoire ! Mais c'est au bal du Palais d'Hiver que se scellera son destin exceptionnel. Devenue jeune fille, Blonde est tiraillée entre les sollicitations irrésistibles d'un bel officier, Dimitri, et son amour pour le fils d'un ancien serf, Sergueï.

Harcelée par un étrange propriétaire au regard inquiétant, elle est victime d'un odieux chantage, tandis que ses parents sont rattrapés par leur passé. Le souvenir de la conspiration contre Nicolas Ier - la fronde des "décembristes" - est vivace ; la révolution, elle, approche...

Des années plus tard, accompagnée de sa fille, Blonde revient en Russie, pays qu'elle n'a jamais cessé d'aimer, pour éclaircir les zones d'ombre qui planent encore sur sa vie.
