I felt honored when M. K. Tod offered me the chance to read the prelease of her latest historical fiction novel, Time and Regret.
I’ve been following M. K. Tod’s blog, A Writer of History, for several years. In the crowded blogosphere I have found hers so dependably useful that it is one of only a few blogs I read faithfully.
Having never read her fiction, I began with anticipation and hope that it would meet my expectations. I was not disappointed.
In Time and Regret Ms. Tod weaves parallel tales from WWI and the 1990s into a mystery, a memoir and a love story. Her writing produces a visceral experience of WWI horrors — the brutality and futility of the freezing, muddy trenches — and leads you through the protagonist’s journey of love lost and love found. The work is well crafted in plot and prose, unfolding the juxtaposition of the past with the present and entwining connections from one to the other.
Highly recommended.
Release Date – August 16, 2016
I’m so delighted you enjoyed Time and Regret, Lausanne! I hope many other readers will too! Wishing you a great day. M.K. Tod (aka Mary)
So much so that I bought Lies Told in Silence 🙂 Looking forward to that one too. (Currently having computer problems, so you haven’t seem much of me on Twitter but I hope to be up and running again soon!)
Wow … many thanks for that! When a reader buys a second book, now that’s a compliment!!
