Andrew Tweeddale
Author of A Remembrance of Death and Of All Faiths & None
I never thought that one day I would be standing in a bookshop, next to a tower of my own books, selling them to anyone who came through the door. It took me 18 years from starting Of All Faiths & None to getting it printed and published. That might seem an incredibly long period but when you are working full time, and you have a young family there is not much time for writing, editing and marketing. A few years ago, I decided to change my life and become a full time writer. My second novel, A Remembrance of Death, was published on 1 December 2024 and have received great reviews as well as being shortlisted for the Yeovil Literary Price.
I hope you enjoy reading both my books and I am currently writing another which I hope will be out at the end of 2025.
Thanks
Andrew
Editorial Reviews
A Remembrance of Death is a richly woven historical novel that deftly combines personal tragedy with broader societal failings.
What I loved most about the book was Tweeddale’s ability to bring the era vividly to life...
However, the book’s strength also lies in its character dynamics. A Remembrance of Death is a thoughtful and emotionally resonant novel that will appeal to fans of historical fiction and those interested in stories about personal and cultural reconciliation. Tweeddale’s writing is evocative, and his characters are relatable in their flaws and virtues. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys exploring the intersection of history and human experience, especially through a lens of self-discovery and resilience.

Regret and Loss During the Decline of the British Empire - an Editorial Review of "A Remembrance of Death"
But this novel is more than simply a vignette of social interactions. There is a deeper meaning, as each character and storyline reflects on death, or the death of love or of a dream, to greater or lesser degrees...
“A Remembrance of Death” by Andrew G Tweeddale is an intriguing book to read, with a complex plot and complex characters, set in a complex world. The suggestion of a disturbing family secret will provoke considerable anxiety in the reader and a silent hope that it remains buried (truth is sometimes overrated!). The characters are not straightforward but they are certainly relatable and the author’s depiction of Basil’s marriage (and personality) is painfully realistic. At several points through the narrative this reviewer experienced considerable angst at the choices made, and found herself shaking her head either in commiseration or frustration. It’s been a while since a novel has created such emotion…a thought provoking, poignant, five star read.
