The novel has elements of the known and unknown, blending into a believable and exciting work of fiction.

Tension and conflict? Big time!                                                  John Bell

​

A real tour de force. I enjoyed the novel from beginning to end. Both men are beautifully drawn and one can see why the protagonist is torn. But I could never make love with Karl. I hate getting sand in my undies.

The Way Things Fall is intriguing, the characters interesting and well-drawn. It is a very impressive, very readable debut novel.

Peter Greene

I love fiction that transports you to new worlds and The Way Things Fall does this in spades. Astronomy, Egyptian mythology and ancient astrological interpretations of the night sky mix brilliantly with art, Jungian psychology and love & lust.  This is a really smart book and beautifully written with help from Egypt’s stunning desert landscapes, the brilliant astrological night sky and panoramic, rolling vineyards of Tuscany. A wonderful pandemic escape to another world!

I really enjoyed and learnt a great deal about Egyptian mythology and the importance of astrology as I did about what critics look for in art. I thought the characters were very real and well developed

I am not into Cosmology or ancient Egyptian archeology but I really liked the way the author wove the detail into the novel and having been to Egypt I felt transported back by her great descriptions. The characters were real and likeable and the ending is unexpected. A great read.

​

I really enjoyed the story, the characters and the rich description. Once in I didn’t want it to end. I got to enjoy knowing the characters and wanted their story and my learning about a very foreign world of the stars, energy, and the powers of fate and destiny to continue.

Liz Torlée lived and worked in England and Germany before emigrating to Canada. During her career in advertising and market research, she has had many articles published and has enjoyed public speaking on marketing and social issues. The study of people and what makes them think and act the way they do has been at the heart of Liz’s work throughout her career and this passion is reflected in the three principle characters of her new novel, The Way Things Fall. Her fascination with the idea of predestination what is usually thought of as ‘coincidence’ fuelled the ideas behind it.

 ​

Liz has written many short stories and poems but this story was always struggling to get out and she became serious about the possibility of getting it published three years ago. A few critical and encouraging friends and her tough but inspiring writers' group ‘First Page’ helped her immeasurably in making that dream come true. Finally, the discerning eye of Shane Joseph of Blue Denim Press gave the novel a different slant and the final boost it needed.
