Sinopsis

In "Nevermore," Rolf Boldrewood masterfully weaves a narrative that explores the themes of loss, memory, and the haunting remnants of the past. Set against the backdrop of colonial Australia, the novel is characterized by its rich, descriptive prose and a keenly observed psychological depth that invites readers to reflect on their own experiences of grief and nostalgia. Boldrewood employs a blend of realism and romanticism, creating a tapestry of characters whose lives intertwine in a quest for understanding amidst personal and societal turmoil, making the book a significant work in the Australian literary canon of the late 19th century. Rolf Boldrewood, born Thomas Alexander Browne, was a prominent figure in Australian literature, known for his vivid depictions of the Australian landscape and his exploration of colonial life. His own experiences as a landowner and a participant in the Gold Rush informed his perspectives on social issues, which resonate through the pages of "Nevermore." The author's ability to reflect on both the beauty and the tragedy of the human condition stems from his multifaceted background and keen observational skills. I highly recommend "Nevermore" to readers interested in a profound exploration of the human experience. Boldrewood's insightful narrative and complex characterizations will resonate with those who appreciate literary works that navigate the intricate relationship between memory and identity. This novel stands as not just a gothic tale but as a reflective commentary on the enduring impact of the past.

    Feeling stifled as a Jew living in a Moldovan shtetl, violinist Elazar just wants to find love and eventually succeed his father as conductor of the family band and hardware business. 
    But that could take years, and in 1922 Kalarash, he's known all the girls his age since he was a child. He would love to move to Kishinev, Odesa, or Kyiv and become a musician, but it would kill his mama, and he'd feel guilty for the rest of his life. 
    At his cousin's wedding, Elazar falls for Ita Kaplan, an heiress from Bolgrad, but she plans to move to Paris and become a painter. He's then taken by Mariam Gabashvili, the daughter of a local vintner, but is forbidden to marry her because she's not Jewish. 
    History-the rise of Stalin, his brutal takeover of Ukraine, and later Hitler's invasion of the USSR-grants Elazar's wishes in ways he never dreams, sending he and his family on an epic flight to Uzbekistan, where they endure the war, and then back to Moldova, where they pick up the pieces of their shattered lives. 
    With cunning, class and determination, one violinist brings to life a turbulent era in the Soviet Union, where, while life was punishing and brutally unfair, he finds music in devastation and conducts his family-his orchestra-in such a way as to not let the horrors defeat them or hate to overcome them.

    Growing up in war-torn Vietnam was normal, even idyllic at times, for Snow, the youngest of seven children in her family. Although her heart belongs to an American GI, she honors her father by marrying a Vietnamese man. Her halcyon life unravels as the Vietnam War ravages her country and the threat of communism culminates with the fall of Saigon. Life in unified Vietnam under the new regime becomes unbearable. Betrayed by her husband and left with a dying child to raise, Snow must set aside her morals and push herself to the limit emotionally, physically, and mentally, to buy her way out of the country. Her decision to escape and find sanctuary in America takes her adrift in the South China Sea and the Gulf of Thailand with her daughter, nephew, and other boat refugees. For days, they are at the mercy of pirates, storms, and dire conditions. Ultimately, Snow settles into a refugee camp on the island of Galang in Indonesia, but life there is deplorable. The threat of repatriation and the will to keep her family alive keeps her motivated to hustle for a ticket to freedom. 
    “Wow, Snow in Vietnam is better than Miss Saigon! A story told from someone who lived through love, loss, and the pursuit of freedom during the Vietnam War. A triumphant story of the Vietnamese boat people!” — Loc Bui, Business Development Officer, Media Vines Corp 
    "The book is beautifully written, the story told with equal amounts of heart and skill and this reader could hardly tear away from the story for real-life each day." —Kim Hornsby, USA Today Bestselling Author and Amazon #1 Bestselling Author

    Rome 999AD. Brother Galen never sought sainthood. But in the heart of Rome, where popes make kings and cardinals plot in shadows, choice is an illusion. Will Galen become a symbol of holy power—prized, controlled, and trapped inside the glittering halls of the Lateran Palace? 
    By his side stands Alcuin, his loyal friend and gifted illuminator, who sees the danger closing in as Rome’s ruthless factions circle. Alcuin knows the Church’s praise can turn to poison, and even the purest faith may not protect Galen from those eager to exploit him.
