Tears Cannot Help us

Tears Cannot Help us, published under my pen name of Robert Blacklord, is a romance set in the second world war and is available on Kindle as an eBook. It is based on true events and real lives of my parents. This tale of hardship sacrifice spans 28 years set in Cyprus, Egypt, North Africa, Greece, Czechoslovakia and England. It is centred around the lives and struggles of two young people; Nick, a Cypriot who served in the British Army and Irca, his lover, who fought in the Czech Resistance as they help to defeat the German war effort and the the Nazi war machine (including Reinhard Heydrich) in the face of considerable hardship, sacrifice, and life threatening constant danger. It deals with their early lives in Cyprus and Czechoslovakia, their love of freedom and that of their families, and their unifying determination to help defeat a common enemy. That determination and common cause of freedom led to their love for each other and their willingness to risk their own lives for each other and for freedom.
