A Slender Thread of Sound: Stories of Adversity, Fear, Courage, Hope and Triumph Harry Newman

The manuscript is relaxing and easy to read. The overall tone is soothing, gentle and communicates the author's sincere love for those who have been written about. In light of the September 11th¿ events, most of us have lost the shallowness of the past, to become concerned for family friends and tradition. We are more caring and forgiving. This story mirrors these values perfectly. The attention to detail, the grasp of character and the ability to weave a yarn make this autobiography a literary journey. It weaves a spell on the reader who will find it easy to identify with the authors experiences. It covers esoteric and out-of-body experiences, filled with a love of faith, humor and guardian angels. It is a fascinating compilation of vignettes covering seventy-nine years. It includes over four years in the South Pacific during the Second World War, covering Australia, New Guinea, The Dutch West Indies and The Philippine Islands. Further travels include, England, Italy, Israel and New Zealand. It also describes a return trip to Sydney, Australia fifty years after the war.
