Song of Sorrow by RPG Colley has got to be my favorite read of the year. Well done, sir!

It has been said that people crave and seek out stories as much as food and water. Rupert Colley has always satisfied my appetite for a great story. His latest novel, The Lost Daughter, is another fulfilling banquet.

Couldn’t put this book down!
Kudos to Rupert Colley on The Lost Daughter! This is a very well written book that keeps your interest peaked and sends you back to WW2 so that you feel you are actually there. I can’t recommend this book more! I love Mr. Colley’s style of writing and I will definitely be reading more of his books!

Colley has a deft hand for creating a story that is impossible to put down
Colley has a deft hand for creating a story that is impossible to put down. The plot moves seamlessly from 2001 Britain, back to the immediate post war period, and then to 1943 Nazi Germany. He creates characters that are inadvertently flawed yet highly sympathetic. He introduces the reader to the horrors of Nazi Germany but also to a love story as moving as it is remarkable. He creates a sense of pathos but also hope in human frailty. This book is highly recommended.

Imaginative and absorbing
This is a wonderful book of eight interlinked stories, from 1871 to the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989. It follows the lives of the characters through the most tumultuous historical events of the twentieth century and a violin that is cursed for one hundred years. There are stories of love, betrayal, murder, hope, and redemption. Each story is imbued with warmth, poignancy and emotion. A very absorbing and enjoyable read.
