Our publisher @martinjgoodman writes for The Guard Our publisher @martinjgoodman writes for The Guardian today. Swipe for an extract! He has compiled a list of books adjacent to his own, ON BENDED KNEES, which is out in it’s 30th Anniversary Edition. 📓✨ A Whitebread Shortlisted Debut Novel. Though Tomas is half-German, he is taught by English war veterans. He walks the ruins of Coventry with his English Gran, still crumbling from the blitz. Later, when Tomas nears adulthood, he goes to Germany to stay with his enigmatic uncle, Herr Poppel. The blind, elderly man was once a German soldier. Tomas has more family out in Dresden, a city still maimed by Allied firebombs. What does a young man make of all this atrocity, guilt and his own disgust at the past? What might we inherit from the wars of our elders, and how might we move on? ‘A perceptive, moving novel. Martin Goodman takes fierce delight in cutting through the easy cliches about the "new" Europe.’ ~ Christopher Hope 📓✨ Take a look at the link in our story for the article.

THE LOST GOSPEL OF LAZARUS by Richard Zimler is OU THE LOST GOSPEL OF LAZARUS by Richard Zimler is OUT NOW 📔✨ Sunday Times Book of the Year | 1# Bestseller in Portugal | Bestseller in Brazil In The New Testament (John 11:1–44) Lazarus is resurrected by Jesus Christ. How did he do that? For what reason? In THE LOST GOSPEL OF LAZARUS, best-selling novelist Richard Zimler uses impeccable research to take readers inside the story from Lazarus’ perspective. In this account, Jesus is Yeshua. The story gains tremendous immediacy in its Jewish telling, with its profound actions on the eve of a Christian era. This novel is philosophical and intimate; unsettling and intriguing, focusing on Lazarus’ damaged mind and his close and loving relationship with Jesus. A highly moving novel that casts a known story in bright new light. Lazarus’ experience of death has left him fragile and unconfident, and his newfound fame is a burden he does not want. Worse, his faith has been shattered because he remembers nothing of any afterlife. In compelling flashbacks, we learn of Lazarus’ initial meeting with Jesus – during their boyhood in Nazareth – and discover how he came to earn his friend’s trust and gratitude. He is resurrected during what will come to be known as Passion Week, the final week of Jesus’ life. Lazarus wonders if his purpose is to save his beloved friend from crucifixion. But will Jesus accept Lazarus’ final sacrifice? 📔✨ #BarbicanPress #RichardZimler #LostGospelofLazarus #IndiePublisher #books #reading #Bookstagram #currentlyreading #booksofinstagram #author #Jewish #spiritual
