by Simon Van Booy
- 1 Want to read
Centering around one simple act of courage on the battlefield in the heart of France during World War Two, the implications of which reverberate through the future generations of two very different men. In this story, inspired by true events, characters discover that at their darkest moments they are not alone, and that every human being is a link in a chain we cannot see. The same world moves beneath each of them, so that one by one, through seemingly random acts of selflessness and mercy, a veil is lifted to reveal the vital parts they have played in each others lives, and the illusion of their separateness.

In The Illusion of Separateness, award-winning author Simon Van Booy tells a harrowing and enchanting story of how one man's act of mercy during World War II changed the lives of strangers, and how they each discover the astonishing truth of their connection. Whether they are pursued by Nazi soldiers, old age, shame, deformity, disease, or regret, the characters in this utterly compelling novel discover in their, darkest moments of fear and isolation that they are not alone, that they were never alone, that every human being is a link in an unseen chain.
