"For me this book is 'thinking woman's chick-lit' in the best way, a truly contemporary romance and a terrific read on many different levels. Definitely one to pack in the summer holiday suitcase." - Amazon reader review Naomi Lieberman has flown the nest of her hometown in Liverpool to seek the bright lights of London. Despite having aspirations and a degree in forensic science, Naomi finds herself working as a sales assistant at a sex shop in Soho. This is just one of many shameful secrets she has to hide from her Orthodox Jewish family and childhood sweetheart, Ephraim. Facing up to the disappointing realities of her life Naomi is desperate to find meaning and purpose. On a whim she signs up as a volunteer at a local refugee centre where her path soon crosses with that of John Paul Chambers. John Paul is head of English at a private college and the manager of the refugee centre. He is arrogant, aloof, and still trying to free himself from the emotional curse of the genocide in Rwanda that orphaned him twenty years earlier. When John Paul interviews the centre's latest flighty volunteer, neither he nor Naomi has the slightest idea that their lives are about to change forever. Wendy Skorupski's debut novel is an unlikely and uplifting love story exploring the depths of human experience and the life-changing moment when two paths cross.

Autorenporträt
Wendy Skorupski had an international upbringing and now lives in Kraków, Southern Poland, together with her youngest daughter and their mischievous puppy. In her youth she wanted to be a concert pianist, as well as a writer, but soon realised that one life was not enough to attain both dreams. Gradually, the writing took over, resulting in a number of novels which she wrote while bringing up three children and balancing a demanding job in international education. In October 2016 Wendy and her family visited Rwanda and sent a tweet to the controversial president, Paul Kagame. When he replied, word soon got out and triggered a plethora of international articles and interviews. This is what ignited the spark for Once Upon a Thousand Hills. Wendy frequently travels to London and Liverpool, where various members of her family are scattered. She can't imagine life without plunging herself into the weird and wonderful world of fiction. Her love and admiration for Rwanda is now a deeply ingrained part of her life. She plans to write a sequel to Once Upon a Thousand Hills in the near future.
