Kissing the Enemy

About the Book

Kissing the Enemy is testimony to the author's creative versatility. It is a book which abounds with a wealth of perceptively observed detail, obviously the product of real experience, which lends to the book a poignant, sometimes quite gritty reality -- a dramatic immediacy, which is one of its key strengths. The characters, situations and dialogue are relayed in vivid and lively detail making each moment seem entirely authentic. As a result, the reader is effortlessly drawn into the fabric of this story, experiencing it as his or her own reality. The structure of the book is an accomplished device in itself, patiently built and sparingly meted out with an eye on the necessities of tension, pace, climax and anti-climax. The perspective from which Kissing the Enemy is written is unusual and as such the ideals expressed are particularly important.
