Where the Earth Holds Secrets
Nuray is a journalist. Some call her a troublemaker. Or a sleuth with a knack for finding the hidden graves of the missing in Cyprus. Haris has spent a lifetime avoiding the truth about his father’s disappearance. When Nuray reaches out for help on the case, he wants nothing to do with her.
Then forensic archaeologist Elena Clayton, estranged from her family and seeking a new life, arrives on the island and starts digging.
Bound by distrust, all three must navigate lies, betrayal and their own entangled pasts to uncover the secrets beneath their feet.

'Part detective story, part family saga. A beautifully paced tale of family bonds broken by conflict, restored by a long-buried truth.'
Alison McQueen, author of The Secret Children.
I’ve seen firsthand the transformational power of life writing. Whether in community workshops or university classrooms. So, what if everyone had the tools and encouragement to tell their story, anytime, anywhere? Well now they have and for free. Co-created with my colleague at NTU, Anthony Cropper, the Minute Memoir is a life-writing website with all the resources you need to start writing about your life – or gather someone else’s story - one memory at a time.
