Dear Val,
My historical novel, The House at Zaronza, is published today by Crooked Cat Books!
Set in early 20th-century Corsica and at the Western Front in World War I, it tells the story of Maria Orsini, the daughter of a bourgeois family in a Corsican village. A new schoolmaster comes to the village and they carry on a secret romance, but Maria’s family has other ideas for her future. She becomes a volunteer nurse during the war and the novel follows her fortunes through the war and beyond.
The novel is loosely inspired by a true story, which we uncovered on holiday in Corsica a couple of years ago. Corsica is a captivating island with a fascinating history.
With the 100th anniversary of the outbreak of World War I less than a week away, the book covers a topical subject. I did a lot of research both about Corsican history and culture and about nursing in World War I.
It’s available in paperback and e-book formats from Amazon (co.uk and com and also on fr):
The Kindle version is on special offer during the week of publication.
Many thanks for your support, Val, which is greatly appreciated.
