The Maureen Ritter series by Eoin Dempsey debuts in Czech Republic with bestseller “The American Girl”

This powerful novel marks the beginning of the acclaimed “Maureen Ritter” series, a historical fiction saga that has captivated readers around the world with its unforgettable characters, emotional depth, and heart-racing suspense.

Set against the harrowing backdrop of Nazi-occupied Europe, “The American Girl” follows the story of Maureen Ritter, a courageous young woman who finds herself entangled in a dangerous web of espionage, resistance, and survival. As secrets unravel and loyalties are tested, Maureen must summon every ounce of strength to fight for justice—and for her life.

With its gripping narrative and richly drawn historical detail, “The American Girl” is a must-read for fans of WWII fiction, strong female protagonists, and stories that stay with you long after the final page.

What readers are saying:

★★★★★ “Hard to put down once you start reading. Love the characters and can’t wait to see what happens next. Love the way this author writes.”

★★★★★ “This series is so exceptional it’s hard to describe. WWII in itself is such an anomaly to those of us who saw people later in life who had served and the hardships they endured. Maureen Ritter is such an original character that she captivates the mind. Having France as the backdrop enriches every scene. The most important part is that we have no concept about the reality of war and destruction and devastation on a daily basis for years. Eoin paints vivid imagery that will stick with you long after you finish one of his books. His writing is so solid, you will never forget it. So step back in time and go on the adventure of a lifetime.”

The compelling bestseller “The Memory of an Elephant” by Alex Lasker is now available in French!

★★★★★ This is the debut novel of a well-known and accomplished screenwriter. Lasker wrote films that starred such actors as Clint Eastwood, Bruce Willis and Patricia Arquette, among others.

“The Memory of an Elephant” is an epic saga told by an aging African elephant as he makes a last, perilous journey to find the humans who rescued him as an orphan some fifty years ago. Interwoven with his narrative are the tumultuous lives of the family who raised and then lost him: a famed hunting guide and his wife, who runs an animal orphanage ; their son and daughter; and the young Kikuyu who finds the orphaned elephant and becomes part of the Hathaway family.

This timeless story is alternately heartwarming and heartbreaking, spanning east Africa, Great Britain and New York from 1962 to 2015. The greater purpose of the story is that we identify with a sense of the preciousness of life, all life, and share the basic awareness of these truths that make our own lives meaningful.

What readers are saying:

★★★★★ “What a beautiful story. It is one of survival, happiness, sadness and courage. Told from the elephant, Ishi’s perspective, it was unputdownable. I truly felt like I was part of his life! I love elephants and all that they are, so I was wonderfully surprised at just how great a story this was. How well written. It was a story of true love!”

★★★★★ “There are few books I have read with the power of imagery and emotional realism to affect me so profoundly as Alex Lasker’s The Memory of an Elephant. This is not just another animal story. This is a story that originates in a deep sense of injustice, moral sin, brought to vivid reality on an epic scale. It is a masterpiece that ranks with the best classics of animal stories.”
