Andrew Tweeddale
Author of: Of All Faiths & None, A Remembrance of Death, and Only Breath & Shadow
My Story There is something magical about seeing a copy of your book in print, because there is something magical in telling a story. When I retired from being a lawyer in 2022, I never thought that one day I would be standing in bookshop beside a tower of my own books, talking about the stories I had created; but there I was in 2022, talking about the characters in Of All Faiths & None. Four years later and my third book, Only Breath & Shadow, is out on sale. I am extremely proud of it, and the reviews that it is garnering are fantastic.
Of All Faiths & None
Editorial Reviews
"Tweeddale deftly blends fact and fiction in a story that moves fast yet still makes clear, with each chapter, how time and tragedy change us all. The ending is bittersweet yet satisfying, sure to please lovers of historical epics."

A Remembrance of Death
Editorial Reviews
"[This] 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."

Only Breath & Shadow
Editorial Reviews
"There are books you read and books that read you back. Only Breath & Shadow by Andrew Tweeddale is the second kind. It asks quiet questions about sight, about conscience, about what an ordinary person owes a stranger, and it asks them in a voice that never rises. By the final pages, the title stops feeling poetic and starts feeling like a diagnosis of the world. We are all, in some small measure, only breath and shadow, and the question is what we do with the brief warmth of the first and the long reach of the second.
This is literary fiction of a very high order, and it deserves a wide and thoughtful readership."
