2020 was truly a remarkable year for Torn Asunder, and the recognition it received is well-deserved. The story’s setting during Ireland’s turbulent times adds a rich historical depth. Renny deGroot’s ability to portray a conflicted man in such a vivid manner is commendable. I’m excited to see how readers will connect with the characters and the era. What inspired the choice of 1916 as the opening year for the novel?
