Niki Tulk
Author of Shadows & Wings
Thank you to author Niki Tulk for offering to provide two readers with a digital version of her debut novel Shadows & Wings.
Synopsis:
Tomas, a cellist and dreamer, denies the devastating changes happening in 1930’s Germany—until he is drafted into Hitler’s Wehrmacht. Many years later, having emigrated to Australia, he raises his granddaughter Lara to love music and birds. He also chooses to hide from her a terrible secret.
When her beloved Opa dies, 22 year-old Lara receives a shadow box of mysterious ornaments that force her to confront his past. Seeking to understand his years of silence, and to find a way through her own grief, she travels to Germany—the objects her only guide.
Shadows & Wings is a novel of cyclic journeys between hemispheres, the connections between ourselves and those we can never know, and the haunting power of art, love and dreams.

Hi Claire,
I would be interested in reading this book. I have been tracing my uncle’s participation in the war–he was an American, my father’s little brother, who died on the Siegfried Line–he was only twenty. I lost half my family–all my father’s people–in the Holocaust, and I am also trying to understand how the Holocaust could even have happened. One book I read that was really helpful is The Book Thief. I think I would like to read Shadows and Wings as well. I hope I’m not too late to sign up for the drawing!

I normally don’t read digital books. So please don’t enter me for the giveaway. But I would love to read the paper book version sometime. I really covet the accompanying music CD 🙂 Best of luck to the readers who have entered!
