`Ravelled spans a century and crosses two oceans. The quality of Seph's writing for which I am most grateful is the casual manner in which hope and fortitude, compassion and commitment, are treated as matters of course, though no less miraculous for that; the admonition that we each have the capacity to demonstrate the same strength and act of kindness not only for our loved ones, but for those strangers whose paths we cross seemingly by chance. Ravelled is powerful, prosaic and plainly-spoken', J.K. Bywaters, Virginia, USA;`Seph Gannon has captured my heart. His passion in these pages has introduced me to people who have become part of my life. This book is a journey and I'm glad I took the ride.' Rocco Morabito, Florida, USA; `Gannon's first novel Ravelled reads with such fluidity and ease that you feel he must have already written at least five previous novels to be this good. His simple and gentle approach to writing engages the reader quickly and lures you into a false sense of emotional contentment, then, suddenly before you even know it, a swift hard hitting blow takes you down and leaves you in no uncertain terms feeling both the painful lows and euphoric highs of the characters. Emotional, impactful and unforgettable. I don't cry at books. I do now.' L. Chapman, Hampshire, UK; `This has instantly become one of my very favorite books. It's a story of how the love and enduring bonds of a family, and their friends, helped them survive the devastating events of the first half of the 20th century, including world wars and the Great Depression. They never lost hope; they never lost family. I can't wait to share this book with my friends. Thank you, Seph!' Lois Colbridge, Virginia, USA
