Pierre's Story: Sequel to "I Was, I Am, I Will Be"
The sequel to I Was, I Am, I Will BeJohn Coventry thought the hardest part was behind him. Michelle was gone - dead, violently, the way people in her world tended to go. His years working undercover for British Intelligence were over. He boards a plane for Los Angeles, hoping to disappear into the California sun and finally, mercifully, start again. But the Intelligence officers' parting words follow him across the Atlantic."You can never leave us, John."Haunted by recurring nightmares and reeling from grief he never had the chance to process, Coventry finds himself consumed by a search he can no longer ignore - for Pierre, the son he has never met.
The child Michelle kept secret. The child he didn't know existed until it was too late. What follows is a journey across continents that is by turns gripping, heartbreaking, and quietly devastating. From the sun-soaked terraces of Beverly Hills to the cold, dangerous streets of Berlin, Coventry tracks the life of a boy shaped by forces far beyond either of them - a childhood steeped in extremism, a young man drawn deep into violence, and a father running out of time to reach him before the world does."She caught the ashes on her breath, and danced with them high into the tree tops - a lullaby of love, a mother's warm hello."Pierre's Story can be read on its own, but for those who have already travelled with Coventry through I Was, I Am, I Will Be, this is the book that completes the journey.
It is a spy story, a love story, and at its heart, a story about what we owe the people we bring into the world - and what it costs us when we find out too late. The ending will stay with you. "A disturbingly stunning read which has a deceptively easy style that conceals a darkness in the characters that rings true. A warning to us all." - Samantha Fox, United States"The authors' innate ability to vividly portray the mindset of the people involved is quite extraordinary.
I did not need to question the ending - it had to be that way. Now I am crying again. A well worthwhile read." - Carol Hartshorne, United Kingdom"This is a vivid and moving account of events - very different to the first book. This novel takes you on a heartbreaking journey." - Christopher Smith, United Kingdom"I can't find the words to tell how much I've been touched by this story. I have been torn and filled with sunshine - chapters after chapters, lines after lines." - Jullian, France"Pierre's Story immerses us in the lives of father and son as they come to terms with their choices, their history and their secrets.
A captivating novel full of charm, humour and great depth, this gripping work evokes every emotion as both a thrilling spy story and a tragic tale of love and loss." - Erin S., Canada
