A beautiful - heartbreaking novel! This is the second novel of Rebecca I have read. There is no comparison between the two.
Touching the Wire is one of the best book I have read in my life. Be prepared to have your heart pulled out of your chest and stepped on. You mind and soul will be on a roller coaster ride of heartbreak and despair.
I think it was the descriptions Rebecca has given / you can picture so vividly in your mind and you know that many of the events really happened.

An exceptional book, with universal appeal.
A character driven book with elements of mystery and romance but at its heart, some quite controversial and thought provoking issues.
We meet Walt as a devoted grandfather, father and husband, suffering from horrendous nightmares and flash backs to his time in Auschwitz during WW11. We learn how Walt saved a young Jewish girl from the gas chambers, falls in love and secretly marries her. We hear of his efforts to save people within the camp and how he ...more

I had this book on pre-order cos I read The Silence of the Stones and loved it.
It's beautiful and horrible both at the same time and I'm not sure how Rebecca did that.
I've sent for two printed copies, one for me and one to pass round to friends - it's THAT good!
Saying anymore would spoil it for everybody but DON'T MISS IT - and have you looked at her website? There's a load of stuff on there from her NEXT book and it is SO different.

Harrowing. Horrifying. Powerful. Touching the Wire by Rebecca Bryn is a masterful and thought-provoking story, a truly amazing read.
Rebecca Bryn is an outstanding author, her writing is of a high calibre and she is a wonderful story teller. Her writing transports you to the scene and immerses you in it. I wasn’t reading a story – I was there, living it, every second of it. It is horrific and shocking and will leave you wondering how such evil existed, but at the same time it is full of love and ...more

Touching the Wire, by Rebecca Bryn, is multi-layered story that weaves past and present into a complex tapestry illustrating how difficult it is to escape one’s past. Walt Blundell has secrets—secrets even his wife does not know, secrets he cannot share with anyone, secrets he cannot even whisper to himself alone in his workshop.
Haunted by his wartime experience at Auschwitz, and by the memory of the man he calls Wselfwulf in the frightening stories he tells his granddaughters, and by the memor ...more

The first book of 2017 I just could not let go of until it was done.
Historical Events Told As A Fictional Story Is A Great Way For Students To Learn & Remember Facts
In my opinion, this book should be available in schools, colleges, universities & libraries as a reference tool!
