Only Breath & Shadow
Only Breath & Shadow follows Christian Drewe, an English gentleman blinded at the Somme, living in 1930s Vienna. When the Anschluss triggers the brutal persecution of his Jewish friends, the Friedmanns, Christian’s quiet life is shattered. Alongside American singer Claire Astor, he hides the couple's four children and orchestrates a desperate escape from the Gestapo. Hunted by the ruthless Major Ernst Schmidt, Christian must confront his past to ensure the children’s survival. This novel is a harrowing tale of courage, acting as a solitary candle against the gathering storm of the Holocaust.
Of All Faiths & None
In 1910, world renowned architect Edwin Lutyens receives an extraordinary commission from Sir Julius Drewe: the design and construction of Castle Drogo, a Norman fortress perched atop the rugged expanse of Dartmoor. As Lutyens grapples with a project, his imaginative daughter Celia becomes captivated by the romance of the castle, unaware that its stones will witness the unfolding of personal tragedy.
Of All Faiths & None is a sweeping romantic drama, tracing two intertwining love stories set against the backdrop of a changing world. As the World War I casts its shadow across Europe, these relationships are tested and reshaped, echoing the very foundations of the castle itself.
Of All Faiths & None is a poignant and richly layered novel exploring love, legacy, and the costs of an era that tore the world, and the hearts within it, apart.
A Remembrance of Death
Spanning continents and decades, A Remembrance of Death follows Basil Drewe and Celia Lutyens through a lifetime marked by grief, love, and the search for meaning. From the dreaming spires of Oxford to the farmlands of Ojai, from the grandeur of New Delhi’s inauguration to the wreckage of war-torn Europe, their story is one of endurance—of a love tested by time, loss, and the brutal unravelling of empire.
As the world lurches from the First World War to the horrors of Nuremberg and the shadows of colonial Kenya, Basil and Celia find themselves bound by a common cause and a fragile hope. Together, they must navigate the fine line between infatuation and love, idealism and reality, forgiveness and regret.
Richly layered and deeply human, A Remembrance of Death is a powerful meditation on the collapse of old certainties, the cost of silence, and the quiet courage required to carry on.

A Remembrance of Death
"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.
“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.
