About The Silence That Followed

The Silence That Followed is a historical fiction novel set during and after the Second World War. Rather than focusing on battles themselves, the story explores the lives of ordinary people shaped by extraordinary events.
Following characters on opposite sides of the Atlantic, the novel examines resilience, sacrifice, love, and the lasting effects of war on those who lived through it.

Available in paperback, hardcover, and eBook formats.
