title: War Stories - Short Fiction
author:  Elisabeth Doyle 
description: ''Ms. Doyle writes in a spare style reminiscent of Hemingway, but her stories pack the wallop of Raymond Carver. Her characters are ordinary people coping with pain, disappointment, loss and yearning simply because there is no other way to keep going. Doyle makes them into the kind of everyday heroes who never get written about, yet their seemingly unimportant lives will leave their imprint in your memory. She is a gifted writer whose work is deceptively emotional.'' --- Carol Saline, journalist, author, broadcaster and public speaker.

  ‘Such a skilfully constructed novel about one of the less well trodden events
  of the war peopled by complex, sympathetic characters. Compelling and moving –

  it’ – Annie Murray, author of Girls in Tin Hats
  
  ‘An engaging and elegantly written novel on the grim realities of war, and the
  moral choices that can result. Highly recommended’ – Roger Moorhouse, author
  of First to Fight and Berlin at War
  
  ‘It’s a tale of tragedy and brutality, with characters that are so well-drawn
  they practically get up and walk from the page... I simply wanted to pick it
  up when I had finished and start over again’ – Jenny Quintana, author of The
  Missing Girl
  
  ‘A meticulously researched novel of love, intrigue and betrayal... reveals how
  in war truth so often falls victim to expediency. In a story where loyalties
  are called into question, she kept me guessing to the final page. Carolyn’s
