From the writer of ‘The Why Question’…
Amsterdam, a city under Eastern occupation, becomes a labyrinth of secrets: some to be kept, others to be solved. Within this turmoil, a zoo shelters humans among its animals. Generations of intertwined families are torn apart in moments. Now, there is no time for why—only how. How to stay safe. How to trust. How to remain loyal. As the world burns, one question haunts them all: can the truth ever emerge from the ashes?
James Beard has spent most of his working life in education; teaching and lecturing at every level, after early experience in market research. He took up writing in retirement ‘to escape boredom’ and has submitted two plays in competition, one apiece of musical theatre. He focuses on historical fiction, embracing his own, or family experience and interests. Travel, gardening and community activities are his focus when not on ‘grand parenting’ duties.
