Set in postwar Germany, Torn Between Homes traces one woman's growing isolation until a single night by the River Rhine changes everything.

In 1993/94 Mainz, nearly fifty years after the Second World War, the city is still haunted by silences heavy with memory. When Ifeoma arrives with her young son, the joy of reunion with her husband slowly gives way to unease. Germany is colder than they expected, not just the weather, but the looks, the distance, the feeling of never truly belonging.

As her husband immerses himself in work, Ifeoma battles isolation and loneliness. Tension builds, quietly at first, then explosively, until a fight by the River Rhine changes everything.

Torn Between Homes is a gripping tale of migration, marriage, and the slow unraveling that comes when the dream of a new beginning meets the ghosts of a world still learning to forget.

"Torn Between Homes is a poignant and deeply human novel that explores the unraveling of identity, belonging, and love in postwar Germany, offering readers a hauntingly beautiful story of migration and one woman's search for home in a world still learning how to heal." - NewInBooks
