My first novel, The House at Zaronza, is four years old and to celebrate I have one signed paperback copy to award to a lucky winner. Read on to find out how to enter.
Set on the stunning Mediterranean island of Corsica at the beginning of the 20th century and at the Western Front during World War I, The House at Zaronza is based loosely on a true story that we found when on holiday on Corsica.
The main character is Maria, the daughter of a bourgeois family in a village on the coast of Cap Corse. She and the local schoolmaster carry on a secret relationship, since her parents would disapprove, but everything is against these star-crossed lovers. The novel follows Maria’s fortunes into World War I and beyond.
The House at Zaronza was first published by Crooked Cat Books in 2014. It has been reissued this year in a new edition with some minor editorial changes and a new cover. I’m delighted to say that it remains popular with readers.
