Another lovely story from writer Christoph Fischer in his new book, Sebastian. It will be out in a couple of weeks. Meanwhile, I had the great fortune of doing an advance reading for him. Boy was I lucky.
Published in just over a week from today on May 1 2013 “Sebastian” had a great start with a glowing 5 star debut review on Goodreads:
Review:
What a marvelous and well-crafted story Christoph Fischer’s Sebastian is. The story starts with a young sixteen-year-old boy, Sebastian, receiving an amputation to his leg for an infection, from a rusty nail, that went untreated, due to fear of doctors and needles. The reader is instantly drawn in to this protagonist and his mother, Vera, as well as the medical situation that lingers throughout the story that takes twists and turns along with the plots and subplots to help define a character that goes from being weak to growing an inner strength and beauty. Sebastian’s story is the story of his family, the women who enter his life and the war that surrounds and defines them all.
The scenes begin with Sebastian…

Thank you Jean-Jacques 🙂
I read your fabulous review on the reblog. This sounds like a wonderful read, Paulette. Another TBR I must add to my forever teetering tower of must haves.
Thank you, Tess. I really enjoy his story telling. So glad you stopped by to comment at his site.
Wonderful review, Paulette!
So happy you think so. Glad to be able to help another author whose work I enjoy.
And you’re so good that that!

A message from Christoph I wanted to share:
“Thank you Paulette, I am very pleased you liked it. It is loosely based on my own grandfather, whom I never met because he lived and died in East Germany, but about whom I have heard from my aunt much later. Sebastian has been with me for years and I am glad you met him, too.”
I gets lots and lots of inspiration whenever I visit your blog, Paulette. Thanks for sharing another of Christoph’s works. I admire his writings.
Uzoma, so great so see you drop by and comment on Christoph’s writing. Thank you. He’s a wonderful story teller, very much like you are as well.
What a nice story Paulette.
Yes, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you! 🙂
Great review, just put it on my christmas list. 🙂
I’m sure that will make Christoph happy to see. That’s so sweet of you. 🙂
