Book
Adam and Eve
First published 2026
On Armistice Day in 1918, a shepherd’s son and an earl’s daughter are born into neighbouring but socially divided worlds. Their lives develop during the uneasy peace that follows the First World War, as inherited rank, family expectation and economic change shape the futures available to them. A relationship that crosses the class boundary becomes the centre of a story extending from childhood into adulthood.
The approach and outbreak of the Second World War force private loyalties into conflict with national duty. The confirmed publisher account frames the novel through the opposing wartime leadership and rhetoric of Adolf Hitler and Winston Churchill, while leaving the detailed course of the protagonists’ lives unrevealed before publication. The book is a forthcoming historical saga scheduled for publication on 6 October 2026.
