Bookreview: The Way Back

A great historical fiction book

Summary

Churchill tasked the SOE to set Europe ablaze - but it was the RAF
who got them there.

It was the start of the Allies way back into Europe that led to D-Day. For one
burned out pilot who had been judged to be 'Lacking Moral Fibre' it was
his own way back...

My review

As usual I started reading the sequel instead of the first book. 😀
However I easily came into the story. The main character was deepened out
very well and it also has a realistic story.

So, I really enjoyed "The Way Back". I recommend this book to all who love
historical fiction.

With lots of pleasure I give a 5 star rating for "The Way Back".

Note to the author: Please do write other books soon! 

The author

Malcolm started writing fiction around 10 years ago, self-publishing
three novels through Amazon including a mountaineering thriller,
The Last Mountain, which has had more than 10,000 downloads. He
also has two books published by a small publisher, including a collection
of WW1 stories which topped the Amazon anthology best-sellers list
at Christmas 2014.

His short stories have done well in a number of competitions, including
runner-up placings for those run by Henshaw Press and the Mere Literary Festival.

Having written in several genres early in his career, Malcolm has now settled
into writing historical fiction.

This includes LMF, a WW2 novel set during the RAFs controversial night
bombing campaign, Leviathan, a novella about a young, frightened pilot hunting
Zeppelins in the night during WW1, The Neutral Zone, a collection of short stories,
and Eleven Days, a novel set around the events of 'Bloody April' 1917.

LATEST NEWS!

The long-awaited sequel to LMF, The Way Back, is published 15 March 2021.

Bookreview: Bombs and Bougainvillea

 An expat in Jerusalem

An interesting memoir

Summary

If Linda and her family had foreseen the challenges of relocating to Israel and Palestine,
they might have hesitated… They have no idea of the horrors in store. No idea that
murders will take place on their doorstep. No idea they’ll be so close to a fatal bombing,
or that they’ll adopt a dangerous dog. As they enjoy delicious local food and immerse
themselves in different cultures, will the unspoilt countryside and friendships help
them overcome the difficulties, or will they flee from an area which at times seems to
have one wall, but two prisons?

My Review

For me it really was an interesting memoir, beautifully written and it took my 
attention from the beginning till the end. I also enjoyed the sense of humour of
the author and I absolutely loved the stories from her daily life.

So, if you want to read a fantastic and very interesting memoir, don't doubt and
chose Bombs and Bougainvillea: An expat in Jerusalem.

Without hesitation, I give this book a 5* rating!
