Two historical novels by Libby Sternberg:
SLOANE HALL: In this compelling homage to JANE EYRE, a chauffeur in old Hollywood falls in love with a beautiful starlet about to make her first sound picture. Against the backdrop of change in an industry devoted to pretense, he must determine what is true...and how far he will go to forgive.
"An original story with complex character development...(Sternberg) knows how to tell a story and she does it well....a refreshing tale." Carolyne Van Der Meer, Bronte Studies journal, September 2011
"Libby Sternberg's intelligent and intriguing Jane Eyre reimagining has achieved two of the most difficult goals in a novel: being a page turner and paying a worthy tribute to Charlotte Bronte's immortal story." -- THE BRONTE BLOG
AFTER THE WAR: Ten years after World War II a family still struggles with its impact on their lives: a young nun in the throes of mental collapse; a young wife who tries to make the best of second chances; her husband, whose doubts color his current happiness; a doctor and nurse in love but unable to move beyond deep wounds; and a priest, who wrestles with going home. A story of love, loss and renewal set in a sunny peacetime clouded only by lingering battles fought on unseen internal landscapes.
"...a touching novel of faith and family...an evocative story of love lost, and found, told with beautiful language and emotional clarity. A novel to savor." Christy English, author of The Queen's Pawn
Genre: Historical
