The Shadow Keys: A novel

"People often ask me what it was like. I lose my words once I get to this part. I can describe what it was like to touch your hand, to kiss your lips, to have the sun blind my eyes, to have the window down and wind rushing on to my face. Yet I cannot describe what it was like when the world came crashing to an end, I can never describe how the last thing before I saw darkness was unbearable light. How could anyone understand?" The Shadow Keys is a tale told in an incredibly unique format, following the lives of strangers through a series of letters. Set in London in the 1930's it describes musical obsession, love, loss and ultimately the fragility of human life.
