Synopsis

Rest Upon The Wind is the story of two women who never met, but whose lives become inextricably linked. One is Emily, born into a comfortable, middle class late Victorian home, and the other is Sophie, Emily's great granddaughter, who was born on the day Emily died. Both women have lost someone they loved deeply. In Emily's case this was due to the events of the First World War, and, in Sophie's case, to a tragic misunderstanding. The chance discovery, by Sophie, of on old photograph of her great grandmother, leads to a very unexpected change in her life. Can Sophie find happiness and fulfill the lost hopes of a figure from her past?

Biographie de l'auteur

Gill Twissell has always been fascinated by social history, and has also carried out considerable genealogical research into her own family. However, she, like many others, has also dreamed of writing a novel. A busy life as a mother and health visitor made this remain a dream until she took early retirement. Now she wonders how she ever had time to go to work! A chance find of a photograph of her grandmother, (featured on the front cover of this book), was the final inspiration for 'Rest Upon The Wind', although it is not her grandmother's story, but a work of fiction. Gill lives near Woodbridge in Suffolk, with her husband, to whom she is indebted for his support and technical help.
