Antares Publishing, Northland, 2014. Minor signs of wear, otherwise good secondhand copy.

BESTSELLER The novel A Gallipoli Soldier?s Secret is the story of a New Zealand woman?s pilgrimage to Turkey to discover the truth about her great-grandfather?s fate - a Gallipoli soldier who never returned home. During her search she stumbles over dark secrets which have been hidden in a Turkish village for decades. They are so sensitive that disclosure threatens embarrassment for villagers and two old foes -New Zealand and Turkey.

Lyrically written, A Gallipoli Soldier?s Secret paints an informative picture of life in a Turkish village, Turkish culture and history, and the suffering and annihilation Turks endured in WWI. It follows the war through the stories of two soldiers ? New Zealander Alistair John Taylor and Turk Ali Osman. Their lives converge with unexpected consequences.

A Gallipoli Soldier?s Secret is unique in that it provides a glimpse of the war from a Turkish perspective. It also vividly reveals village life and a journey of inner conflict and self-discovery.
