About the author
Wasyl Nimenko
37 books3 followersWasyl Nimenko was born in Ipswich, England. His mother was from Tubbercurry in the west of Ireland, his father from Dnipropetrovsk in central Ukraine. After studying medicine in London, from 1982-1983 Nimenko trained and worked as a psychiatrist at the 2,200 bed St Bernard’s Hospital (previously known as the ‘Hanwell Insane Asylum’ and the ‘Hanwell Pauper and Lunatic Asylum’).
He left psychiatry to retrain as a GP and a psychotherapist. From 1982 - 1991 Nimenko worked with survivors of torture. He worked independently, in the NHS, with the homeless and also with the emergency services and the armed forces.
In 1984 Nimenko researched the stress of using virtual reality for Xerox in the first users of the Xerox Star, technology which has since become the standard in personal computers. In 2011 he researched the use of archaeology in the psychological decompression of wounded soldiers, a service which is now available internationally to the armed forces as ‘Operation Nightingale.’ In 2013 he researched Post Repatriation Stress Disorder which was first described in 2015.
Nimenko has been influenced by his many visits to India since the 1980’s. His main interest and practise is in uncovering, recognising and realising our natural happiness.

Such an emotional journey set against a backdrop of psychological trauma and a struggle for forgiveness. A timeless piece of fiction that you will not be able to stop reading!

I bought this book because the author is in fact my doctor! I found it very hard hitting and emotional, but it has also made me more aware of the issues that may surround my guys when they go to war zones.
