Synopsis
Excerpt from The Light Above the Cross Roads
Sir Henry saw himself tied by a thousand chains to the very greatness of his position, tied to a wife with whom it might be a dreary tragedy, yet precluded by the unwritten law of his order from taking any short cut to freedom from her presence in his house, tied to the very chair he sat on, and obliged to entertain stran gers without the slightest hope of finding among his guests that unexpected angel sent to encourage the hearts of the hospitable. Still, he knew himself to be successful, and there was some essence of joy in that knowledge. Had he stood alone he might even have been happy, but his ambition and his pride would not permit him to stand alone and push the woman he had married entirely out of his life. She was always there.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This captivating book follows the journey of Marcus Janover, a young boy torn from his early life in India and thrust into the rigid and unfamiliar world of Germany. As Marcus grapples with his new surroundings, the reader is drawn into a poignant exploration of identity, family, and the profound influence of culture on an individual's path. The author deftly weaves together the historical and personal, setting Marcus's experiences against the backdrop of World War I. The clash between Marcus's East and West upbringing becomes a microcosm of the broader cultural and political tensions of the time, adding depth to the narrative. Through Marcus's journey, the book explores themes of duality and belonging, questioning the notion of home and the complexities of reconciling different parts of oneself. It delves into the power of early childhood experiences, highlighting the delicate balance between love and discipline in shaping a young life. The book's insights into the human condition are both timeless and universal, resonating with readers from all walks of life. It serves as a thought-provoking meditation on the forces that shape our identities and the ways in which we navigate the often-conflicting demands of our past, present, and future.
