        Across Great Divides

        by Monique Roy

        Across Great Divides is a timeless story of the upheavals of war, the power of family, and the resiliency of human spirit. When Hitler came to power in 1933, one Jewish family refused to be destroyed and defied the Nazis only to come up against another struggle—confronting apartheid in South Africa.   The novel chronicles the story of Eva and Inge, two identical twin sisters growing up in Nazi Germany. As Jews, life becomes increasingly difficult for them and their family under the Nazi regime. After witnessing the horrors of Kristallnacht, they realize they must leave their beloved homeland if they hope to survive.   They travel to Antwerp, Belgium, and then on to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, chasing the diamond trade in hopes of finding work for their father, a diamond merchant. Finally, they find a home in beautiful South Africa and begin to settle down.   But just as things begin to feel safe, their new home becomes caught up in it’s own battles of bigotry and hate under the National Party’s demand for an apartheid South Africa. Eva and Inge wonder if they will ever be allowed to live in peace, though they cling to the hope for a better day when there will be “an understanding of the past, compassion for all humanity, and …hope and courage to move forward across great divides.”   Worldwide rights are available for this novel. I would like to sell Across Great Divides in Europe, Africa and Asia.   The readership for Across Great Divides are history buffs, both female and male, and all ages, from late teens through adult.

        You Will Return to Isfahan

        by Mostafa Ensafi

        The book with its fluent narration provides insights into a forbidden love, and this is why it has been a success in Iran. It is a story that depicts Iran both in the context of the Second World War which is one of the most important historical events, and in its most contemporary political and cultural manifestations over the past few years. You Will Return to Isfahan was hugely noticed by the critiques. It is soon to be published in Italy too. Shamim, a well-established and successful literature professor, has lost the love of his life, Audrey, many years ago, never knowing why. Now with the appearing of Elisa -a polish girl who has apparently come to Iran to seek her grandma who was forced to migrate to a camp near Isfahan during the second world war- he walks down the memory lane and relives what he knows of Audrey or at least his assumptions about her. Elisa is aware that Shamim was once her mother's lover. However, Shamim still yearns to unfold Audrey's secret as much as Elisa wishes to know about her mother's unknown side through his eyes. Despite his wife and child's insistence to leave the turbulent Iran after the 2009 Iranian presidential election, Shamim stays in the country and tries to find Audrey, or perhaps himself, with Elisa's help. In this quest, he comes to know about some aspects of himself and of people around him, which were formerly unknown. Is Audrey the same as before? Why did beautiful Audrey disappear all of a sudden? Why did she leave everything behind including her passionate love?
