The Silk Weaver’s Wife

First coming out through the Bookouture publishing imprint in 2017, this originally arrived on the 5th of July in 2017. Not a part of any series, it’s a self-contained narrative with a stand-alone plot, moving between different eras to tell a story spanning across generations. Researched extensively, there’s also some romance, as well as close attention to detail when it comes to its historical setting.

Back in 1704, Anastasia hoped to escape from the life that her ever-controlling father had for her, living in Venice as the wife of a silk weaver. Moving ahead to 2017, Millie moves to Italy to write a feature after her boss abruptly ends an affair, leaving her to find a new start. Staying in a beautiful Italian villa, she falls for Lorenzo as they begin to uncover the past and the previous generations of silk weavers there. Can Millie find happiness here, where will their journey into the past take them both, and what became of the silk weaver’s wife?

It’s a compelling story that really does manage to bring its subject matter to life, giving the reader a clear insight into the past. The journey itself is an epic one, drawing the audience in and keeping them invested for the entire duration of the novel. It provides color to the past with its vivid portrait from a moment in time, offering a clear window into history while also being highly entertaining.

The German Wife

Initially published through the Kindle publishing platform in 2022, this would first come out on the 13th of January. A stand-alone title, it’s a historical novel with some dark underpinning, taking place during the Second World War in Germany. Dealing with some of the horrific events that happened, it moves back and forth between time periods, looking at what took place and the aftermath.

A doctor’s wife living a happy, idyllic life in Germany in 1939, Annaliese soon finds her world turned upside down as he husband is ordered to work in the Dachau labor camp. Later in America in 1989, Annaliese sees the face of a man she believed she’d never see again, as the memories come back, meaning she must confront the past. Back in Germany, 1942, a Russian prisoner named Alexander is sent from the camp to help in her garden, while Annaliese’s husband becomes more withdrawn and secretive. Will she learn the horror of what’s happening from the prisoner, can she save him and her own child who’s soon to be born, and what really happened to the German wife?

Not holding back, it’s a highly compelling story that has a lot to offer, with Rix clearly having done her research for the novel. Maintaining its momentum throughout, it’s a story that’s truly handled with care, providing some new and interesting ideas.
