Hello Gentle Readers
I have finally finished my novel. Well, the first draft anyway. I still need to edit it and do minor rewrites.
Below is the synopsis and I would love your opinion. Does it sound like something you would want to read? Please let me know. If you know any publishers that would be good to know too.
Lazarus Rising by Neil Thomson (Synopsis)
Lazarus Rising is a historical novel set during the late 18th and Early 19th centuries. It is essentially a novel about identity and what happens to us when we lose our sense of self and must discover who we are.
Our protagonist, who has been named Lazarus by a priest who heals him back to health after Waterloo, has no memory of who he is. He gets flashes of memory (place names and faces mostly) that point him towards a small village in Kent. He returns to the village and discovers that events from his past and recent present have collided to create a mystery which has identity, love, honour, friendship and revenge at its heart.
A stranger claiming to be a famous person, a woman with a past and an illegitimate child, a family with too many secrets for their own good
Told in flashback, the reader slowly discovers more and more clues to Lazarus’ identity. When the truth is finally revealed to the hero, he must not only fight the demons of his past indiscretions, but also face up to his responsibilities and an enemy who seeks to destroy everything that Lazarus holds dear.
Spanning the English countryside to London and across the sea to Belgium and Portugal during the Peninsula Wars, Lazarus Rising is a novel that has adventure, drama, and passion. The story is told in the 3rd person and features characters who are believable and well rounded.
