A Long Walk With Fate
Three families, one fateful connection ...
When Aiden's adoptive mother dies, he sees a photograph in a magazine that makes him want to learn more about his blood relatives. His quiet, impoverished life in Vancouver changes dramatically and he struggles to find footing in a strange new world.
Gabi, working on her family's equestrian estate near Cairo, learns something about her husband that inspires a reckless - and dangerous - plot to ensure her future well-being.
Dominic and Amina, living a charmed life with their children in Morocco, take a vacation that proves to be the catalyst for a terrifying incident involving their five year old daughter, Rosa.
The paths of all three families eventually collide, forcing them to confront long-held secrets, and festering resentments. Each must come to terms with the past and discover the power of reconciliation and forgiveness.
A Long Walk with Fate weaves universal themes of love, forgiveness and belonging into a fast-paced narrative. Readers who have come to expect international intrigue in Torl e's first two novels (The Way Things Fall, and In Love with the Night) will not be disappointed.
Janet Trull, End of the Line
It is rare to read a book so emotionally precise yet broad in scope as it explores the capacities and possibilities of the human heart. Whether on the path of love, vengeance, or reconciliation, Torl e's characters wear their flaws like wounds. Beauty and death permeate the story, but this book ends on a subtle, enduring note of hope. A remarkable achievement.
Arif Anwar, The Storm
An engrossing story that criss-crosses from Morocco to Chile to Canada with three closely linked but disparate families, and their relationships, travails, and treacheries.
