The Suitcase of Secrets
by Julie Fearn
The gripping novel, The Suitcase of Secrets, is now available from Amazon Books, in Kindle or paperback.
Northern England 1946, Roman, a Polish refugee determined to build a new life after WW2, arrives in West Yorkshire. Torn from his homeland, Roman continues his search for his family, whom he last saw in 1940s Warsaw. But Roman is hiding something. And when he falls in love with Bridget and reunites with his mother, the weight of his past threatens to explode Roman’s new life.
The Suitcase of Secrets is a gripping love story dealing with the impact of the tragedies of war. Partly based on actual events, the novel is a timely reminder that little has been learned from history when refugees are still fleeing from tyranny. Set in West Yorkshire, this page-turner is one not to miss.
‘Authoritative, meticulously researched and plotted, this novel enthrals in its heart-stopping twists and turns. I thoroughly recommend this intelligent, compassionate, beautifully written novel.’ Lizzi Linklater, poet.
‘The Suitcase of Secrets shines a powerful light on untold stories.’ Guy Mankowski, Novelist.
