“Bittersweet Enduring Love” January 13, 2015 By elaine m. suda

“I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. Even though I spent more time sobbing during my reading about Anna and Louis, I am still happy that their love endured. Anna still has her baby daughter to love and reminds her of the passion she shared with Louis. I look forward to reading more of your work.”

“Five Stars” January 9, 2015 By Julia Kirk

I have thoroughly enjoyed reading your book, September 20, 2014 By Steve Layton (COLORADO SPRINGS, CO, US). . .
Rosie, my dear friend, I remember the day you shared your plans about writing a novel. You never lost your enthusiasm, and over the years I witnessed your dream grow, your passion take shape and the birth of “Echoes from the Oasis”.

I have thoroughly enjoyed reading your book, you have done a great job and I highly recommend this novel. You transport the reader to your island home, through vivid descriptions, and your depiction of characters is amazing. You have captured the Seychelles Creole culture and painted an amazing picture of life on the islands during colonial times, as your characters from all social background and different ethnicity interact with one another.
Bravo! I can’t wait for the sequel.

Congratulations, your work has its rightful place at the archives of The Seychelles National Library, along with the work of many of your fellow authors from the Seychelles.

NOW MY OWN REVIEW. . .
5 Stars! November 16, 2014 ~ Author, Catherine Townsend-Lyon

Rosie has done a fine job in promoting her new novel where she had been born and raised, which in opinion, is one of the most beautiful places on earth, The Seychelles Islands.

Not only has Rosie written a beautiful fiction romance, she also shares many of the traditions, ways, and cultures of this beautiful part of the world. And the about a young woman, Anna who blossoms when she finds love. Even one of Rosie’s written characters has my first name, Catherine. Now that made me feel special. But I’m pretty confident that was well planned in her book before we had ever met.

I also have to warn you about this read, when you start reading Rosie’s book, be prepared to have a few late nights as I did. One night I didn’t turn out my reading lamp until almost 2 am. Now that’s a great read! I was so drenched into this storyline, the well written historical sites tells me the author did some research. But then again, when your born and raised where your storyline takes place, it is the past historical background Rosie really shines. She has a wonderful writing style I enjoyed as well.
That’s why I gave this beautiful read a 5 Stars! It truly is worth your time to purchase and read . . .

Echoes from the Oasis

May 1, 2014

by A R Tirant

Paperback

$11.98$13.46

.
In 1814, the war being raged on the seas of the Indian Ocean by the all-powerful
Franco-British naval forces trying to dominate the lucrative trade routes to India, had
ended with a truce. At the stroke of a pen, far away in the city of Paris, the exotic,
tropical islands of the Seychelles became a British colony. Forged from their French descendants and African slave roots, and molded by their new British rulers, a
small nation had emerged.
.
It is July 1912 on the island of Mahé, and Anna Savy has just turned sixteen.
Anna is a passionate, nature-loving and rebellious young woman at a time when
women are confined to specific roles and expectations, and custom and tradition
prevail with reverence. Strongly held beliefs in the goodness and righteousness of God,
and in the secret and evil forces of witchcraft, hold equal sway in a closely knit
Catholic community.

As a young nurse, Anna experiences both the joy and pain of her people, for survival is
a daily struggle for the majority. A smallpox epidemic brings tragedy to Mahé’s
Victoria Hospital, with the hatred and conflict between Anna’s British and Irish
colleagues laid bare, whilst forbidden love brings the missing dimension to her life.
But then, the First World War brings the worst possible disaster…

By N. Tirant-Gherardi

“From the opening lines the reader is drawn into a period long since evolved”.

“The author manages to skillfully hold the reader’s attention as the story develops
its numerous threads that set the stage for a flurry of love and passion in the midst of hardships”.

“Her penmanship is particularly remarkable in the manner in which she paints the
historical backdrop to the stage setting as she introduces the main players whose lives
and passions intertwine with the historical events of that period”.

“But perhaps to the author’s greatest credit is the illustration of the profound relationship
that develops between the two main characters, Anna and her beloved Louis. The reader
is drawn into this romance through the author’s touch for detail and ability to convey
those inner emotions to which we can all relate”.

“At the end of the day, the echoes from Anna’s oasis are of love, passion, hate and
revenge – all those human traits that make for a very powerful read indeed”.
.

Watch Out for “Echoes from the Oasis” in the next edition of Elite Magazine …

more about Rosie Tirant-Longhurst.
