  The untold love story of a Roman couple destined to shape an empire—before history wrote their names. 
  In the heart of ancient Rome, where marble statues guard their secrets and the Senate chambers echo with whispered plots, intrigue weaves through every corner. Kyra, a young medica, arrives in Rome for an arranged marriage to a man aligned with her father's enemy. Her journey leads her to the heart of a web of mystery and espionage, where shadows cling to every cobblestone, casting a Gothic pall over her steps. Amidst this maze of secrets, forbidden attractions, and dangerous ambitions, the Tower of Malatha beckons—a refuge or a trap. 
  As the sun sets over the Eternal City, the Tower of Malatha stands sentinel. Its stones harbour more than mere echoes; they cradle the fate of souls entwined by ambition, love, and treachery. Will they ascend to greatness or plunge into the abyss? 
  Note: This is Book 1 of a documentary historical quadrilogy with mystery, espionage, romance, and gothic elements, based on the author's extensive research, travel to ancient sites, and consultation of over two hundred ancient and contemporary scholarly sources. The author is a qualifying physician and holds a master's degree in classical archaeology, achieving full grades for their thesis. 
  Step into the world of Ancient Rome—a story of power, intrigue, and legacy. Please note: This audiobook is temporarily autonarrated due to time and budget constraints. As a medical student, I hope to personally narrate my books in the future. Thank you for supporting independent authors. 
  This story presents historical figures within their time period, grounded in research rather than religious themes. Suitable for general audiences.

  A moving memoir of a son's relationship with his survivor father and of their Eastern European journey through a family history of incalculable loss. 
   
   
   
  Jason Sommer's father, Jay, is ninety-eight years old and losing his memory. More than seventy years after arriving in New York from WWII-torn Europe, he is forgetting the stories that defined his life, the life of his family, and the lives of millions of Jews who were affected by Nazi terror. Observing this loss, Jason vividly recalls the trip to Eastern Europe the two took together in 2001. 
   
   
    
  As father and son travel from the town of Jay's birth to the labor camp from which he escaped, and to Auschwitz, where many in his family were lost, the stories Jason's father has told all his life come alive. So too do Jason's own memories of the way his father's past complicated and impacted Jason's own inner life. 
   
   
    
  Shmuel's Bridge shows history through a double lens: the memories of a growing son's complex relationship with his father and the meditations of that son who, now grown, finds himself caring for a man losing all connection to a past that must not be forgotten.

  FROM THE AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR OF THE ROTTERS' CLUB AND MIDDLE ENGLAND 
   
   
   
  In the heady summer of 1977, a naïve young woman called Calista sets out from Athens to venture into the wider world. On a Greek island that has been turned into a film set, she finds herself working for the famed Hollywood director Billy Wilder, about whom she knows almost nothing. But the time she spends in this glamorous, unfamiliar new life will change her for good. 
   
   
   
  While Calista is thrilled with her new adventure, Wilder himself is living with the realization that his star may be on the wane. Rebuffed by Hollywood, he has financed his new film with German money, and when Calista follows him to Munich for the shooting of further scenes, she finds herself joining him on a journey of memory into the dark heart of his family history. 
   
   
   
  In a novel that is at once a tender coming-of-age story and an intimate portrait of one of cinema's most intriguing figures, Jonathan Coe turns his gaze on the nature of time and fame, of family and the treacherous lure of nostalgia. When the world is catapulting towards change, do you hold on for dear life or decide it's time to let go?
