Mer om författaren

Eva Glyn writes escapist relationship-driven fiction with a kernel of truth at its heart. She loves to travel and finds inspiration in beautiful places and the stories they hide.Her last holiday before lockdown was a trip to Croatia, and the country’s haunting histories and gorgeous scenery have proved fertile ground, driven by her friendship with a tour guide she met there. His wartime story provided the inspiration for The Olive Grove and his help in creating a realistic portrayal of Croatian life has proved invaluable. Her second novel set in the country, An Island of Secrets, is a dual timeline looking back to World War 2.Eva lives in Cornwall, although she considers herself Welsh, and has been lucky enough to have been married to the love of her life for more than twenty-five years. She also writes as Jane Cable.

    "Det förflutna är inte dött och begravet. Det är inte ens förflutet". Så sa Mark Twain och det beskriver andan i denna historiska skildring på ett för huvudpersonen personligt plan å ena sidan och för staden Dubrovnik och landet Kroatien mot slutet av andra världskriget å den andra. Mitt intresse låg fr a i det senare. Porträttet av staden idag kontra livet och omständigheterna under det nazistiska förtrycket 1944.
    Författaren berättar samtidigt om en kvinnas psykologiska mognad och existentiella utveckling under övergången till ålderdom. Helt ok, men inte mitt starkaste fokus.
