Quiet Fires

By Paul Koppisch

"A THOUGHTFUL, EMOTIONALLY PACKED NOVEL "
"GRIPPING...INSPIRING."
"AN AMBITIOUS TALE THAT TAKES ON MUCH AND SUCCEEDS AT EVERYTHING."

Set against the backdrop of World War II, two poor girls coming of age in a small West Virginia town forge a deep friendship that endures through family pressures and personal ambitions. As they struggle with identity, independence, and family loyalties, their bond is transformed through love and a desire for freedom, while they naively eschew the limits of other people's expectations, ultimately leading to a forbidden passion that sets off a chain of events and brings devastating, unforeseen consequences.

In Quiet Fires, Koppisch's sixteenth novel, he tackles the complex issues of class, religion, morality, and individuality as seen through the eyes of two people trying to navigate the pressures of an ignorant, intolerant world determined to impose its own definition of morality and tell them what they should be.
