Love And Revenge Phil Sills

For the people of Korea, the war never really ended and memories of the conflict which ripped their nation apart continue to haunt their everyday lives. Phil Sills' novel Love and Revenge: a Legacy of War tells the tale of four women deeply affected by the Korean War. At first glance, they seem to have little in common but all four are living proof that love really can conquer all. This gripping novel puts the Korean War under the spotlight and shows the lasting impact of arbitrary decisions and military manoeuvres, made with little thought of the civilians whose lives would change forever. The story follows the lives of a pugnacious fighter pilot, a small town police officer, the beautiful partner of Kim Jong-Un's brother Sejong and a CIA agent determined to avenge her father's brutal murder. With four strong female protagonists taking centre stage, which will prove to be the most important? Love or revenge?Author Phil Sills was a semi-finalist in the Royal Palm Literary Award for his most recent book The Hunt for Madoff's Treasure. The judges praised his use of plot and believable characters and described the novel as "a real page turner" and "well executed crime thriller".
