My new book My Soul A Shining Tree is coming July 2025! The cover art by Akrem Chebokha is luminously beautiful and encapsulates the book perfectly. My Soul, A Shining Tree has already been included on The Guardian’s list of books to look forward to in 2025 and you can pre-order it on Amazon today. See below a short blurb:
Based on the true story of Indian WWI gunner and recipient of the Victoria Cross, Khudadad Khan. The story is told from four perspectives: Lotte, a Belgian farmgirl whose village is the flashpoint for a battle; Ernst, a German teenage cavalry soldier whose grandiose dreams of war lie in tatters; Khudadad Khan, the gunner fighting with the British Army; and the walnut tree that shelters them all.
