Author: Eva Hnizdo
Retired family doctor, writer. My second book,a family saga about emigration stories from the last 100 years, shows what happens to people who leave and what happens to the ones who stay. In 1939, many of the ones who stayed died. This book is for them. But it's also about life in a communist country, what it is to have a formidable unbearable Holocaust survivor as a mother and yes, about love and many other things. The book was first published in September 2021., now re-published on 4th September 2023.

The book happily arrived … Continue reading Some new reviews and reactions.

I can’t wait for my readers to review the book on Amazon and Goodreads, but because of Amazon’s rules it can’t be before 28th September, and even then people shouldn’t rush because apparently when too many people try to review the book on the same day, Amazon gets suspicious. So I have to be patient. Not my forte! My publisher received these 3 wonderful short … Continue reading Some readers like my novel, will my relatives like it, too?
