You have recently published a book called COVID-19and the Virus that Shook the World . It provides a sobering look at virus infections and pandemics, with particular emphasis on the COVID-19 strain. Presently, the cases have diminished in Europe but the spread has moved elsewhere. However, how safe is ‘safe’ at the moment? With the way things are evolving with the ’new’ coronavirus, it’s very difficult to answer this question. The WHO just last weekend warned that the worst may be yet to come.

Free Digital Book! - Birds of Passage by Lou Drofenik

on
Award-winning author Lou Drofenik has very generously offered a free copy of her novel Birds of Passage to readers of this blog.

 Published in 2004, the story revolves around a number of women whose strong personalities are at odds with the different epochs, spanning a hundred years, in which they live. Seemingly meek and servile on the outside, they reveal a remarkable inner fortitude when faced with adversity. Birds of Passage is an ambitious novel that delivers in spades, whether you're interested in gender politics, (extremely well-researched) historical drama or compelling characters.

 If you want a copy, you can either leave a comment beneath this post or on Facebook, or email me on [noeltanti@gmail.com].

    Thanks for the book. I love Lou Drofenic's books and bought all I can because some of the first she wrote can 't find them anywhere. She has a passion for Maltese tradition and History of which she entertwine a vivid novel. Cheers to a woman of real substance... who never forget her roots... but flourish them to others. Thank you Lou.
