The Dipping

A Heartwrenching Novel About Life in Wartime and the Refugee Camps of Eastern Europe

by D T Murphy

About the Book
In a war-torn refugee camp, two damaged lives collide, with consequences neither can escape.

Cliona has spent years running from addiction, her past, and herself. Joining a traveling comedy troupe bringing laughter to refugees across Eastern Europe seemed like a chance to finally make amends.

Leon is a soldier being consumed by a brutal war. With every act of violence, he moves further from the husband and father he once was, and closer to a man he no longer recognizes.

When Cliona and Leon meet in a refugee camp, one moment of human connection changes everything. Amid violence, displacement and devastating loss, both are irreversibly changed by what they've done and what they’ve been through.

Dark, gripping and deeply emotional, The Dipping is a powerful, highly rated, novel of war, compassion and the choices that can never be undone. Don't miss it!

'Original and very smartly done.' NetGalley Review.
