AUTHOR

‘My profession, my life’s cause, is working with men to end violence against women. We seldom talk about the wounds that make it difficult for men to love. About healing. While working on a study on men and the war in former Yugoslavia, a friend took me to a museum where stories of lost love are collected. It seemed to me then that the men and women I had met over the years, were all sitting with me in this one room, all telling their stories.’

PUBLISHER

‘Gary Barker knows what he is writing about. He knows the countries and their politics; he has lived and worked around the world with people traumatized by war and sexual violence, victims as well as perpetrators. People have told him the details of their lives and loves, and he has carefully listened to these stories and skillfully turned them into fiction. The involvement and the tenderness towards his characters are palpable on each and every page.’
