Bookshelf : NOVEL EXTRACTS
By hilary west
'A novel is a mirror which passes over a highway. Sometimes it reflects to your eyes the blue of the skies, at others the churned-up mud of the road.'
Le Rouge et le noir (1830) bk2 ch.19 Stendhal, Henry Beyle (1783-1842)
My novel 'The Dome' is represented by the first three chapters, as a taster for those who might wish to purchase a copy of the full text from Amazon.
The first few weeks of 'A Picaresque Tale' is represented here. The full text is available as an e-book, available from good online bookstores.
The 'Where the Boys Are' extract is actually chapter 2. The full text is available from Amazon.
'Fraudster's Folly' is my latest novel and has thirty seven chapters. It is an ebook.
