Reseña del libro "Unless a Seed Falls to the Ground (en Inglés)"
Unless a Seed Falls to the Ground is an adventurous novel about personal identity and faith, love in all its forms, morality and destiny, personal loss and restoration, hope over adversity, healing over trauma and freedom over personal imprisonment. A fast paced genre bending novel that has all the ingredients to keep you gripped, including war, travel, adventure, crime, romance and mysticism.Owen Evans is at a personal crossroads at the outbreak of the First World War. Keen to escape his remote mountain home in Snowdonia and the constraints of his father's chapel, he sees the war as an opportunity. He returns shell shocked and traumatised from the war, and unable to settle, he escapes again, this time to bohemian London where he makes friends with an arty bohemian set, and is unwittingly drawn into the underbelly of London through his boss Freddy Fixit who does more than put up buildings. He becomes enthralled with the unobtainable and enigmatic Rose, and involved with the obsessive and destructive Dolores. One night, a series of cataclysmic events causes Owen's past to not only catch up with him but threatens his future and Owen is again forced to flee. Father M, a boxer and priest gives him sanctuary and Owen takes up his offer of a retreat in the Orkneys where he confronts himself, his past and grapples with the big questions of life and where he learns to forgive, let go and find hope again.Reviews for Big Men's Boots - The Way"Such wonderfully and sympathetically drawn characters. A landscape beautifully portrayed. A period in time and place perfectly captured. It is perhaps these just as much as the historical, social and political aspect of the story that appealed to me in a way I truly wasn't expecting.The first book in a series, I eagerly await the next instalments."- Tracey Terry, Pen and Paper"A very special book, quite unlike anything I have ever read"- Cicely Herbert, Poet and Editor of Poems on the Underground
